What is recorded here

In pasture, located in wet ground at the base of a N-facing slope. This holy well is named Tobercahillboght on the 1837 and 1913 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a circular, steep sided hole (diam. 0.55m, D 0.8m) whose sides and floor are lined with stones. It is now dry. It is located 12m to SE of a natural spring, which emerges from the base of the slope and flows N into a small pool. There is a crucifix plaque (SL012-067002-), located within a small circle of stones, 2m E of the stone-lined well. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
