The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: TOBERNEILL. 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 Neill (Naomh Neill), the well is traditionally associated with healing and protection, with pilgrimages and offerings historically made for cures, particularly for eye ailments and general well-being. The name "Toberneill" (meaning "well of Neill") reflects the saint’s enduring local veneration in early Christian tradition.
