St Bernard’s Well, Fermoy
img_2974The Blackwater was full, still and impressive and the footpath, named after the saint, St Barnane Walk, is an attractive spot to wander down, in fact it is now part of an official town walk. The well is about 500metres along, passing some interesting Victorian buildings behind walls and vegetation. We were followed by some hopeful ducks looking glossy in their spring plummage.
The well is clearly signed by a wall plaque and is accessed along a whitewashed passage way, somewhat mouldy and licheny at the moment.
Signage to the well The well is accessed down a narrow passageway
There are actually two well basins, both connected underground, the water eventually flowing out to the river.

The well to the south is sort of foot-shaped, partially lined with concrete and has three steps leading down to the circular(ish) basin. The whole thing is surrounded by concrete slabs.
The south well img_2988-edit-tif

The well to the north, which receives water from its companion, is more rectangular in shape, also with three steps down to it.
The north well img_2983

Water in both wells was clear and plentiful, but choked with coppery leaves, little water beetles skimming on the surface. It’s an odd space: claustrophobic and damp, a small spindly tree with a large metal protective grill and a wall set cast iron drinking fountain – presumably the water was once piped to this for around the edge it warns rather sternly: keep the pavement dry!
Spindly tree Cast iron water fountain
Lizzie O Grady gives a very detailed account of St Bernard’s Well well in the Schools’ Folklore Collection, worth transcribing in full:
Around the district of Fermoy there are many holy wells. In Barnane Walk south of the river Blackwater there is a well called St Bernard’s which is situated about 100 yards from a Picture House built on the site of an old abbey. As Fermoy is a beauty spot many sight -seers visit it and they make sure in viewing the course of the Blackwater and in rambling up Barnane they visit the well.
About fifteen yards south on the right bank of the river Blackwater and a quarter of a mile west of the Fermoy bridge the exact position of the well is to be found.
The well is on level ground protected by a wall on the east, south and west but open on the north to admit visitors. On the south side to which is attached an enamel cup, an ash tree grows near whose branches over-spread the well. Beech trees grow to the … and the west. A gravel path leads to the well which is divided into two parts, the part near the entrance is square shaped, three steps must be descended to reach this well the waters of which are applied to affected parts. About a yard from this is a round shaped part of the well which is also three steps below the level of the ground.The water of this is drunk and sometimes taken away in bottles. Both parts are connected by an underground stream, the waters of the round part feeding the square part and flowing thence to the river Blackwater.
Saint Bernard lived sometime during the eleventh century. On one occasion when he visited Fermoy a poor bind man came to him and begged him to restore to him his sight. St Bernard blessed the ground on which they were standing and immediately a fountain of fresh water sprung up. The saint told the man to bathe his eyes with water and no sooner had he done so than his sight was restored. The news of the miracle spread rapidly throughout the country and many blind people came to the spot and washed their eyes with water from the well and were restored their sight.
Many strange sights have been seen in the neighbourhood of the well and it is supposed to be haunted
I have gathered this information from some of the old people in Fermoy. (041-043:0378)
St Bernard (1090-1153) was actually French, one of the leading lights behind the Cistercian movement and a gifted spiritual leader and writer. He founded the great abbey of Clairvaux in Burgandy, with himself as the Abbot. Quite what he was doing in Fermoy, I’m not sure, but his feast day is the 20th August.

Physical Description of holy well
The well is semi-circular and cut into the rock, an arch of stones, the interior made out of water-borne pebbles. The water flows out form a shallow basin and is fresh and clean. Cures were attributed to the water, including those for lameness. A blessed eel is said to reside within. Rounds were paid here and the path is still visible. Johnny Crowley, a local historian described what occurred: 'Tis a very devout place. and there have been healings attached to it. The rounds is done here on the 15th August. The rounds then consisted of 15 decades of the Rosary, going up one side of the path by the altar and down and round the other. The tradition was to take 15 small pebbles and as you passed the well you dropped one in. You know you had the 15 decades finished when you dropped the last pebble in the well. When you threw in the 15th stone and said your Hail Holy Queen, if an eel that was in the well jumped up in the water, the main part of your wish would be given…' (Sheep's Head Booklet)
Mass is still held here on the 15th August when the whole hillside is decorated in flowers. The BVM is said to have appeared here - during Penal Times a priest was saying mass and British soldiers were alerted. The BVM appeared threw down her cloak resulting in a mist which confused the soldiers and allowed the priest to escape.
Geographic Markers around well
There is a mass rock behind the well, upon which is a bullaun stone. Many offerings have been left on the rock: statues, flowers, medals, rosaries etc. There was once a clootie tree but this is no longer in evidence. A statue of the BVM, erected in 1952 in thanksgiving for a cure, is perched high above the well. The well is accessed from two paths - a lower route through several boggy field and a higher route through a small settlement. Silver painted gates access both routes and the lower gate has pillars made out of pebbles, presumably once left by pilgrims.

It is near the Kilmocomoge graveyard in a pasture. There is a white and blue painted fence around the well and many little "niches" that hold statues of saints, rosaries, and offerings (https://holywellsofcork.com/2016/03/08/tobairin-mhuire-kealkil/ by Amanda Clark). At the head of the well there is a large statue of Mary. People have left many cups lying around so that others can use them to drink from the well.

3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
The way to get to the well and the well itself are very overgrown as it is no longer revered and on private farm land. Along the path you will find a ballaun stone that has a couple of quartz stones around it, Amanda Clark suggests this may have been a part of the rounds and says that she has discovered it is a penitential station. Past this you this ballaun stone you must travel a bit farther, to find the well covered with "a circular drystone structure with a corbelled roof. White quartz pebbles had been stuffed into every section – presumably left by pilgrims doing the rounds. A wooden lintel within kept the building stable. Stone slabs led to the entrance." (https://holywellsofcork.com/2016/07/21/on-the-trail-of-st-finbarr/ by Amanda Clark) There is no water in the well anymore. There are two other stones near the well that Amanda Clark supposes are parts of the original rounds.

8th of September, the owner of the farm said that mass was held there a few years before Amanda Clark visited her, but that this was not at all a usual occurrence. (https://holywellsofcork.com/2016/07/21/on-the-trail-of-st-finbarr/ by Amanda Clark)

On Amanda Clark's blog (https://holywellsofcork.com/2017/03/13/island-wells-1-whiddy-island/) she recounts that she was unable to find the well on the Island. The end of the island it is supposed to be on has a castle, possibly had a nunnery, a 16th Century tower, and what might be an ammunition store from World War One. She found many dips that may have been the well but none of them definite. It is not listed in Archeological records.

3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
The well has a somewhat brief entry in the Archaeological Inventory: “Located in recess cut into bedrock. Now used for domestic purposes, has lost any religious associations.” It is situated near a bridge called St Ruadhán’s Bridge. The well is on the side of the bridge, which is under a mass of spindly birch trees that makes the area look tricky to get to. The well is enclosed in a large, modern, circular cement pipe. The water is abundant and exceptionally cold and fresh. It looks like it has been used for some sort of domestic purposes.
5 Pattern day
Feast Day is the 15th April. Traditionally, the day the cuckoo is meant to make its first call according to the source: The Dictionary of the Saints of Ireland by Pádraig Ó Riain.
7 Prayer rounds and stations
No prayer rounds are mentioned. However, the path has once been metaled and contains the hallmarks of a Mass Path.

8 Stories
Amanda Clarke reports “The well is still dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and it seems that she has even made a brief appearance here. Cait Ni Síoccáin collected this story in 1937 as part of the Schools’ Folklore Collection: … The story is told how a man went for some water at twelve o clock one night. When he got to the centre of the lane something stopped him, He made the sign of the cross and then found he was able to walk again. When he got to the well Our Blessed Lady appeared to him and told him that it was the spirits that stopped him on his way to the well. She also told him that these spirits wanted to frighten people and it was very dangerous to be out late at night. Thinking that she was another spirit the man blessed himself again. Our Lady told him not to fear that she was the Mother of God. She said she would protect him until he was safe in his own home. She did so and when he got home he knelt down and thanked her, then he kissed her hand and she disappeared… ( 0319:70)” (Clark, https://holywellsofcork.com/2016/11/03/two-kinsale-wells/)

3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
According to Amanda Clarke, this well is just a short walk north from Tobarín na Súl and is tucked away on the side of the small road. The water comes out from the land at ground level and is fresh and clear. Behind the well is a u-shaped stone well house, with a small niche full of votive offering and statues. The water seeps out of the shallow basin onto the white stone-covered foreground. The well is renowned for its healing qualities. It is also said that the water will never boil. Many of the statutes are to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but the well is dedicated to St Ina who has given her name to Lough Hyne. Behind this is a rag tree which is adorned with ribbons of many colors. Tobarín na Súl suffered badly during Storm Ophelia when hundreds of trees were flattened in the woods. The well still survives but is currently covered. (January 2018)
4 Cure
The well is known for its general healing qualities.
5 Pattern day
May Eve (April, 30th)
6 Offerings
Many different statues left here of the BVM and a rag tree is adorned with ribbons of many colors.
7 Prayer rounds and stations
Originally the rounds were held on May Eve (30th April), the start of the ancient festival of Bealtine. It would have followed a set path, probably also taking in Tobarín nal Súl. The pattern day eventually stopped, but now an open-air Mass is held here every May Eve.
8 Stories
Amanda Clarke’s Blog provides a story form a local: “Terri Kearney, who interviewed many residents of Lough Hyne for her book Lough Hyne; from Prehistory to the Present, remembers one man telling her how amused locals were to see a family camped near the well and on taking water from the well being flummoxed as to why it wouldn’t boil! Terri’s father was a great believer in the powers of the well and he firmly asserted that water would not boil. Her mother was of a more skeptical nature and decided to play a trick! On Terri’s Confirmation Day the family went to Lough Hyne as was traditional. Her mother took some water from the well and took it back home where she boiled the water and made tea for her father. On asking how the tea was her father replied that it was a grand cup of tea altogether. Her mother revealed what she had done and he spat it across the kitchen! Living dangerously all round!”

3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
According to Amanda Clarke’s Blog, the well is hidden but still very much revered. It is a secret, but powerful place only known to those it matters to. A horseshoe of mossy stones curves around the well. A lintel slab lays on top of the stone and is covered in many offerings. There is also a slab in front of the well which allows access to the water adjacent to the well. Crosses are etched onto the lintel stone and the mossy side stones. Behind the well is a large amount of stones that were possibly left by pilgrims as part of rounds. The well is somewhat neglected, but it is still visited by elder locals in the towns of Magoola, Agharinagh and Dromgouna.
4 Cure
The well is said to have cured lameness in many cripples.
6 Offerings
Holy water bottles, statues, figurines, candles, a crucifix bearing an elongated and emaciated Jesus were left as offerings on the stones surrounding the well.
8 Stories
The Schools’ Folklore Collection provided many stories about this well in Amanda Clarke’s blog. “There are many stories connected with this spot one of which was about an old man from Dromgouna whose name was Paddy Sullivan. He thought he was called one night to plant a tree alongside the well so that people could hang their offerings on the branches. He rose next morning and planted the tree which can still be seen growing there. It is said that Mass was celebrated there in Penal Times. It is now known by the name of Sundays’ Well and people still visit it on a Sunday to pray. (0348:177)

7 Prayer rounds and stations
Every person says different prayers, but at an outer circle of stones, most pray "The Creed" and five" Our Fathers," five "Hail Marys" and five "Glorias." These are recited while circumambulating the well. With every Gloria they pick up a stone and drop it down again after completion of the set with their right hand. When they are coming home they always leave something after them. Some people leave a button after them. They toss the button in the air and if it comes down with a chosen side turned up, the person will have good luck, but if it comes down with the wrong side, the person will have bad luck. (Amanda Clarke)
8 Stories
Long ago on Michaelmas Day everyone turned towards the holy well, like a Fair day or a day at the Regatta at present. The people used to put up stalls and sell oranges and apples and wine, whiskey and porter and there used to be wrestling. They used to have dances and concerts and plays near the well. Known as the “holy stone” or “Godstone.” (Amanda Clarke).

3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
According to Amanda Clarke’s Blog, this well is signed and can be found right on the roadside. The road is quiet, but it was once the main butter route between Kerry and Cork. A neat stone wellhouse is surrounded by two curved benches and an array of potted shrubs. A concrete cross lies on top of the structure, draped with a rosary; and a pretty plaque depicting the Mother and Child is pinned to the front. Above the well is a little shelf with a painted Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM), flanked by statues of Jesus and St Patrick. The shelf is adorned with all sorts of offerings and blue is the predominant theme. In front, there is a blue kneeler made out of a wooden stool and covered with a gardener’s kneeling pad to make life comfortable for pilgrims. Steps lead down into the water with a stone slab at the front. The water is fresh and abundant and a red cup with a heart-shaped rim is available for drinking the water. Another name for the well is Tobarin an Aifrinn, Little Well of the Mass, and Mass was held here during Penal Times. A Mass Rock lies close to the well, also beautifully kept.

Amanda Clarke relaes the following: A Protestant who lived in the district thought he would have a joke on the Catholics who honoured this well so much so he took some of the water home for household purposes placing some of it in a kettle on a blazing fire to boil. He then awaited the results and was amazed to see that after many hours it was as cold as ever. He was thus compelled to admit there was something supernatural in it

8 Stories
“There were two very wealthy men living in Crosshaven, both Protestants. One man was asked to cut the tree and he said he would rather starve than put a saw to it. The other man was asked and he said he would cut it. He was told it was not right to cut the tree but he only laughed. He brought a cross saw and with one of his sons started to cut the tree; the saw broke in two halves; he got a second and the same thing happened and the third saw went the same way as the first and the second. The fourth saw cut the tree. All went well until morning. He went to the stable to get his horse ready to draw home the timber but found his horse dead.” (Clarke)
