What is recorded here

Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Mulligan (ITA Survey 1942-4) recorded a well in this townland which, according to tradition, had been established by St. Adamnan. Pilgrimmages to the well had ceased c.1890. However prior to then large numbers of peoples visited the well, some travelling considerable distances. Because of this the well was called 'Tober-na-Gaill' or the 'Well of the Strangers'. Not located. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

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.
