That this one reportedly did so as recently as 1897, shifting a few metres to the east after a blind workman was cured at its waters, places it in a category all of its own. The well sits in a wooded area about 200 metres northeast of Clonmeen church in north Cork, a circular basin enclosed by a low stone wall roughly 40 centimetres high and partially set within a concrete surround. Its older name, Tobar Ursa, translates loosely as the well of the prop or crutch, a reference to the walking aids that cured visitors were said to have left behind when they found they no longer needed them.

The well is dedicated to St Fursey, a seventh-century Irish monk whose feast day falls on 16 January, and that date was the principal occasion for paying rounds, the term for the ritual circuits and prayers performed at a holy well as an act of devotion or petition. At other times of year, the same devotions could be carried out across three consecutive days, either Friday, Saturday and Sunday, or three consecutive Sundays. A photograph taken by Grove White sometime between 1905 and 1925 shows the well open to the sky, with a drinking cup and a pair of spectacles laid beside it, suggesting that eye complaints were among the ailments people brought to it. That detail connects directly to the 1897 tradition recorded by Eldridge in 1996: the blind workman whose cure was said to have caused the well itself to shift position, as though acknowledging what had happened there.
