What is recorded here

Tobermíhíl marks a blessed well dedicated to St Michael in County Limerick, already named Tobermihil on an 1840 map. Its local name, Tubberveeheel, still carries the edge of prayer even though no tradition has survived to explain what the water did or who tended it. The well remains a small sharp hole in forgotten time, waiting for someone to remember why it was sacred.

Ó Danachair (1955, 206) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'Tobermihil on 1840 map. "Tubberveeheel or St Michael's Well local name, A Blessed Well" OSNB. No tradition has survived'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 03 July 2019

Tobermíhíl is associated with St Michael and was known locally as "St Michael's Well" or "A Blessed Well." No specific cures or surviving traditions are recorded, though its designation as "blessed" suggests it may have been used for devotional or healing purposes in the past.
