HOLY WELL, WELL & CROSS-CARVED STONE: ST RONAN'S & TOBERSHAW in Farranasculloge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Farranasculloge still holds St Ronan’s well and a cross-carved stone, though no human hand has marked the exact date they entered the world. Water rose through that stone in County Fermanagh, and people repeated the name Ronan beside it, perhaps because mercy sounded easier to carry than fear. Tobershaw may have been a family, a lost church or a childhood memory repeated until it became stone. The well does not need a date to be honest. It is still there, doing what wells do, waiting for thirsty hands and curious people who believe water remembers.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL, WELL & CROSS-CARVED STONE: ST RONAN'S & TOBERSHAW. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Linked to St Ronan, an early Irish saint associated with healing and wells, the site reflects a tradition of holy wells as places of pilgrimage and cure, particularly for ailments of the eyes and general wellness. Carved stones at such sites often mark their sacred status and may date from the early medieval period.
