What is recorded here

On the N side of a field boundary and c. 10m NE of a rath (SL035-100----). This holy well is now closed-in, overgrown with vegetation and dry since a new well was dug slightly downhill. It was recorded in 1836 as 'Tobar na Glaise from the enchanted cow called Glaisín that used to regale herself at this well' (OSL, 243). 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).
