Tobernarath

Well

What is recorded here

Tobernarath means the well of the fort, and that much is written in its name. It stood beside a small circular mound at Knocknacree, County Kildare, on the 1907 map, but neither can be found there now. The land has taken back what it borrowed, leaving only the shape of a memory behind.
Shown on 1907 OS 6-inch map as a well near a small circular mound (No.***). No visible trace of either feature. The name means 'the well of the fort'. No visible surface traces. Date of upload: 8 September 2016

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
