What is recorded here

Some 100m N of a church (GA108-102----), on the N bank of a stream. Named ‘Toberros’ on the 1838 edition and 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch maps. According to the OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 2, 46), some bushes were growing over this well ‘in which they used to dip delicate children’. On inspection, no visible surface trace of it survived. The stream had been deepened as part of a land-drainage scheme. Some of the material resulting from this work that was dumped along the banks of the stream may have obscured the well. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 28 March 2023
