Holy well in Carstown (ferrard By; Termonfecin Par.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

St. Eveleen's Well in Carstown, County Louth, is a ritual site where stations were once held on Trinity Sunday. The water may have sustained local faith long before the land forgot the name, yet by 1967 the well had reduced to a muddy hole. What remains is a faint impression in the soil, waiting for someone to remember that even forgotten water once gave life.

Known as 'Tobar Ebeen', 'Tobar Even' and 'St. Eveleen's Well' (IFC Schools' Mss 675, 76; IFC Schools' Mss 680, 532). Stations were once held here on Trinity Sunday (IFC Schools' Mss 675, 76). When inspected by ASI in 1967, it was just a muddy hole. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 19 July 2012

Linked to St. Eveleen, the well was a site of pilgrimage and ritual, particularly on Trinity Sunday, when people gathered for stations or devotional processions. The name "Tobar Ebeen" or "Tobar Even" reflects the Irish *tobar* (well) and a local variant of the saint’s name, suggesting a long-standing Christian tradition in the area.
