St Finan's Well/Tobar Fhionáin

St Finan's Well is situated on the north shore of St Finan's Bay. The spring well is housed in a lintelled structure with an arched top. Rounds took place here on the 16th March and also on the 29th September when it formed part of the turas that commenced at St Michael's Well in Dungeagan near Ballinskelligs. The turas also stopped St Buonia's Well, before ending at Tobairin Holy Well, Coomanaspig. Other sites in the area associated with St Finan/Finnian include the nearby Killemlagh Church and the early christian site on Church Island, Lough Currane.

Situated: From Portmagee head south on the Skellig Ring (R365) to St Finan's Bay.
