What is recorded here

Some 4m S of a church (GA065-007001-). Known locally as Tobar Bhriocáin (pers. comm. T. Robinson), this well is a natural spring, dry at time of visit, which emerges from the base of a large rock. It is delimited by a low D-shaped drystone wall, and a large number of modern offerings are visible on a flat stone above the well. (Killanin 1947, 125-6) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
