What is recorded here

Tobercro was a holy well where people sought cures before the 1960s, when it was culverted into a domestic water source. It still lies hidden near the south foot of Carrick Hill, forgotten beneath an overgrown roadside. The water may have flowed through kitchen taps instead of ritual bowls, carrying its old purpose into ordinary life.

According to Jackson (1979-80, 145), there was a local tradition of veneration and cures at this well which, according to local information, was culverted as a domestic water source in the 1960's.

Tobercro was traditionally associated with healing practices, reflecting a common pattern of holy wells linked to physical or spiritual cures in Irish folklore. The site's veneration declined when it was repurposed as a domestic water source in the 1960s, as noted by local accounts.
