What is recorded here
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: TOBERNEEN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Linked to Saint Neen, an early Irish Christian saint, the well at Toberneen was traditionally visited for healing, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin. Pilgrimages and rituals at the site may have predated Christianity, reflecting a continuity of sacred water traditions in the region.
