What is recorded here

Toberanelshy is a holy well in County Louth, Ireland, marked on the 1912 OS 6-inch map and also called Tober an Eleshy. It is a ritual site where water may have been drawn for healing, blessing or remembrance. People may have visited at dawn, touched the basin or left a coin, believing the water carried grace. The name preserves that older trust even when the basin has fallen quiet.
