What is recorded here

Adjacent to a field boundary, in low-lying damp ground at the base of a drumlin ridge. The present remains are a muddy unenclosed hollow. In 1836 it was noted that the well was also known as 'Tubbernacagher' and 'Tober na Mainistreach' and was not then in holy use (OSNB vol. 1, 432). Knockmore Abbey (SL044-003001-) is c. 160m to W. 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).
