  1. Tobar na Domhnaigh

    Share Share Post
    There is a well about four miles from my house, and it is called "Tobar na Domnaighe.
    About eighty years ago people used to come once every year to pray at this well. Then they would sing and dance.
    In the evening they would have a Clan fight, and beat each other up and down the field with black thorn sticks
    Perhaps a couple of people would be killed. This fight lasted a couple of hours.
