What is recorded here
Tober Patrick is a lost wooden cross that once stood beside a holy well and tree in a hollow on the SSE bank of a small stream in County Longford. It has vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the memory of a crude marker and a mound that no longer show. The place still holds the shape of devotion, even if the cross itself has returned to rot, soil or forgetting.
Within a hollow on the SSE bank of a small stream. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a small, crude wooden cross and adjacent mound (LF002-006002-) c. 8m to the SE of a holy well (LF002-006004-) and a holy tree (LF002-006005-). There is no visible trace of the mound and cross.
