What is recorded here

On generally level ground, in a poorly drained, ungrazed area, which is enclosed by woodland. According to Curry (1839, vol. 2, 282), ‘There is a…well in the townland of Gleandrith called Tubber Cleibhin [meaning] Well of the Little Basket and said by some people to have been a holy well’. This is depicted as a well and named ‘Toberclebeen’ on the 1842 edition of the OS 6-inch map, to E of a stream. It is shown within the right angle bend of a stream on subsequent OS mapping, where it is named ‘Toberclebeen (site of)’. It is not visible at ground level. This specific area within the angle of the stream is noted as a slightly higher but drier area and is relatively clear of overgrowth.
