  1. Béaloideas - Tobar Chilleán

    Share Share Post
    There is a well in Mr. William Condon's farm, in the parish of Herbertstown, in the Co. Limerick. This well is called "Tobar Chilleán." It is about a quarter-of-a-mile South-West of the village of Herbertstown. It is about a hundred yards in from the main road from Hospital to Limerickk. If any-one went near the well, and said: "Tobar Chilleán boil up; boil up," the water would boil up. It is a very clear spring well, and it is very deep.
    There are a few sticks around the well, and grass grows around it.
