3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
“In the 1830s John O’Donovan recorded a Tobar Ultain, in Irishtwon/Tubberulton in Burry parish, two miles southwest of Kells. The Kells-Athboy road passes along its eastern extremity. O’Donovan wrote that the parish of Burry was dedicated to St Ultan. The well had disappeared as a drain had been constructed and the water had been diverted” (French 2012: 61).
