    “Tobar Bric is a holy well near Faugheen chapel.”

    Share Share Post
    Tobar O Bric is a holy well near Faugheen chapel. St. Brighid was the founder.
    There are seven cures in it - for the hand, back, ear, side, teeth, deafness and stomach pains.
    The well is called after the O'Brics. O'Bric was the name of a landlord who owned the land around. He was a very cruel man and he used put people out of their houses when they would not pay him rent.
