    Tobar-a-Killeen is situated near the castle in Clongill. There is a well in Tobar-a-Killeen. It is in a field called the near field. There is no special day for visiting it. The field belongs to James Reilly. For a headache or vomiting the water is raised against the stream. But for any other sickness the water is raised with the stream. You have to be there before sunrise and after sunset. There is a lone bush about 150 yards from the well.
