Tobar Flainn, Kilflynn.
This Holy Well is situated in a secluded spot in the townland of Cloonafineela on the bank of the river Shanow. Both the well and the village get their names from St Flann who, according to legend, lived nearby as a hermit in a wattle cell in the seventh century. The well had previously been a place of pagan worship.
It appears that St. Flann had great devotion to Our Lady, who appeared to him in his old age and offered to restore his failing eyesight. He declined and begged her instead to put the gift of healing into the well waters. Flann is said to have blessed the well and used its waters for Baptism. From very early times local peoole have gone to the well, particularly in May each year to pray to Our Lady and wash their eys with the water.
In 1953 the local guild of Muintir Na Tire improved the surround of the well, provided concrete steps and a statue of the Blessed Virgin - all in preparation for the Marian Year of 1954. It was at this time that the practice of a procession to the well from the village was revived.
There was never a defined path through Power's land to the well, but that family generously facilitated visitors down the years. In the 1990s the then curate - Fr John Buckley - with the help of a local group carried out further improvements. A gravel pathway, through Power's field, was laid and fenced off providing easy access and an altar was built with stone from the river.
A procession to the well is held on May Eve each year and Mass is said at the well, weather permitting.
Tobar Flainn 50th Anniversary Mass on Friday, 30th April at 8.00 p.m. Assembling at the church at 7.30 p.m.
