What is recorded here

Tubberfaris, also called Fergus' Well, marks a holy water place in Carrowmacmea, County Fermanagh. Its age and exact origin remain uncertain, but the name still points to a well known locally and recorded as an archaeological site. People may have drawn water there for drinking, healing or prayer, and the story of Fergus may have grown around that simple act.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: TUBBERFARIS or FERGUS' WELL. 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 Fergus, this holy well was traditionally visited for its healing properties, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin. The name "Tubberfaris" derives from Irish "Túbhair Fhearchair," meaning "Fergus's hill," reflecting the saint's local veneration and the site's role in early Christian pilgrimage traditions.
