- (continued from previous page)(See Ordnance Survey Map, Second Edition 1903, Cork, Sheet 42 for location of both wells. One well, the one at Analunthe, is marked as St John the Baptist's Well, and the other is on the road between Knuttary and Bottlehill, and spelled as Toberolan.)A pattern is held at Tobar Aluinn on St John's Eve, and the waters are credited with healing power. Sick people pay rounds there and when they are to be cured a trout appears in the water with his belly turned up. It is said that a girl with a withered hand got cured after paying rounds at this well some years ago.
