What is recorded here

On SE shore of Loch Tan. Known locally as Tobairín Naomh Anna, it consists of a natural triangular hollow (L/Wth 0.3m) caused by erosion where three fissures meet. There is a small shrine beside the well and two oval enclosures with little flower gardens, all built by a woman in memory of her daughter. Frequented on 26th July (info. T. Robinson). Not visited. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
