What is recorded here

On the E side of the Kilkenny to Stonyford road. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch as, ‘Tobermogue’ and on the subsequent 1948 revision as, ‘Pump on Site of Tobermogue’. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 374), ‘Tobermogue, or St. Mogue’s holy well, may be seen on the roadside, about 300 yds. north of the churchyard [KK027-020002-]. A pattern was held at the well till the beginning of the 19th century’. The well is covered over with a concrete cap, with a metal cover providing access to the pump. A stone plaque has been erected on a plinth to the rear. See attached image: KK027-019----_01 Google Earth imagery, August 2018 Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 27 March 2023
