“There is a will called tobar na Naomh two miles north from Bailinruan school Co. Clare.”
There is a well called Tobar na Naomh two miles north from Bailinruan school Co. Clare. The well is now dried up. It lies in a secluded valley surrounded by mountains. Franciscan saints when fleeing from Quin Abbey during
the Penal times are supposed to have slept there. The bed where they slept is still printed out. It is said that some person took water out of the well to cook potatoes and after that it dried up.
