What is recorded here

In boggy pasture, at the base of a NE-facing slope c. 100m S of 'Toberstarley' (SL034-100001-). A natural spring well, defined by small stones, immediately to W of a field boundary. Named 'Tobernagalliagh' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. According to Wood-Martin (1892, 355-6, n. 1), this well was 'formerly held in estimation as "holy"'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
