HOLY WELL: TOBERTEEFRIM in Boleran

HOLY WELL: TOBERTEEFRIM

What is recorded here

Toberiteefrim stands in Boleran as a holy well, though no human hand has marked its age or purpose. Water may have filled that hole since before memory, drinking rain and returning it clean to whoever knelt beside it. The stones around it might hold the shape of forgotten prayers, waiting for lungs brave enough to speak them again.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: TOBERTEEFRIM. 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 Teevridh, Toberteeprim is a holy well traditionally associated with cures for skin ailments and general healing. The name derives from the Irish "Tobar Tíofhraim," reflecting an early Christian tradition, though specific folklore or historical records about the site remain sparse.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
