Turrasnadiha Well / Tobar na Croise: This well looks like it was deliberately filled in or redirected, but the cross-slab KE045-085002 is still standing over it. The stone is .55m tall and features a Greek cross on its SSE face. Each arm of the cross ends with slightly bulbous indentations. A penannular circle surrounds the outer part of each arm and combines with them to create a trifid design. Turas na Duimhche continued at the site, up until St. John's day in 1960 (Ó Danachair, 71). The ritual included a visit to Bun an Turais, a spot on the sea-cliffs about 600m southeast, and possibly also extended to Com an Bhráthar, part of the sea-cliff roughly 350m south of the well (An Seabhac 1939, 196-7).
