What is recorded here

Located on the Ross peninsula on the W side of Killala Bay. According to the 1838 OS Letters: ‘There was also a well at Ross, called Tober Béice, which was formerly used as a holy well and is now almost covered with sand.’ (O’Flanagan 1927, 258-9 (135-6)). The well is not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. The exact location of the well is unknown. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 November 2017

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
