What is recorded here
Toberann joins a buried cairn to a living well inside Lismorrity, preserving the moment when human hands first shaped the local landscape. The exact location has slipped from modern memory, but the name still points to an ancient partnership between dead ancestors and drinking water. People may have gathered there to remember the departed, quiet the fear of darkness, or simply refresh themselves before leaving the field.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN & HOLY WELL: TOBERANN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A cairn and holy well associated with the site of Toberann, likely dating to the early medieval period or earlier. The combination of a cairn and holy well suggests a site of both prehistoric and later religious significance.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
