What is recorded here
Toberlury holy well and a forgotten graveyard share one field in County Kerry, a place where water and death stopped competing long before people stopped visiting. The church is gone, but the graves may still tilt under the grass, waiting for rain to mark them again.
According to local tradition, a church and graveyard lies in a field close to Toberlury holy well (KE014-013----) (FCI, 1938-39; Ó Danachair, 1958, 159).
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 943. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
