What is recorded here

In pasture, in depression of a gentle N-facing slope. No visible surface trace. Natural spring well rising c. 38m to S of drain flanking northern field boundary. Named 'Tobercore' on 1954 Os map. According to local information, rags were hung around the hazel trees here and people came from a distance to get water for sick people and animals. It was a belief that water from well had healing powers. Present landowner closed well in recent decades. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
