An Seabhac, faoi bf Gort na gCeann: Is sa bhf. so atá Cathair Crobhdhearg agus crom-leac, sa Bhéarla – “The City” (cathair cloch í. ciorcal) Tá tobar ann go dtugtaí ‘turas’ ann Lá Bealtaine. Ar mhaithe le sláinte ainmhithe tugtaí ann iad agus tugtaí deocha den uisce dóibh. Bhíodh lá saoire agus pátrúin leis ag daoine an lá san.

Caher-Crovderg
'a caher or circular stone fort ... In the west side of it is a holy well at which Stations are performed by the peasantry on May Eve; who also drive their cattle into the fort and make them drink of the water of the holy well ... We have no historical reference to this fort unless it be the Teamhair Luachra of the ancient writers' OD
