What is recorded here

Toberdrumsheel is a holy well in Drumsheel, County Mayo, where a natural spring emerges at the foot of a steep wooded cliff and runs into a lake. It has no stone basin, carved niche or visible marker, unlike most Irish holy wells. The name comes from the Irish word for well or spring, and the place may have been valued long before any formal devotional structure was built. Its simplicity is what makes it striking: water rising from dark earth beneath a precipice, entering a lake, and continuing without human decoration.

At base of steep wooded precipice. A natural spring, no visible masonry, running into a lake. The above description has been derived from D.
