What is recorded here

Referred to in the OS letters as 'Tobar Domhnaig'. Situated at the bottom of a high river ledge. When visited in 1966 by ASI, it was described as a 'broad oval pool lined with with small boulders and split rock' (SMR file). Various legends and traditions associated with it, one of which notes that it re-appeared after the railway was built over it (Irish Folklore Commission Schools' Manuscripts 660, 114-5).
