- Near the town of Cahir is a holy well called "Tobar Íosa". It is nicely situated under the shadow of the eastern abuttment of the Galtees.There are two "wells" with a stream and the "rounds" include walking round both wells and waLking in the stream for a certain distance. This hallowed spot is plentifully supplied with statues, big and small, and various religious objects.Numerous cures have been attributed to the performance of the "rounds" and there is no specified time when they may be performed.
