What is recorded here

Described in 1976 as a ‘fine spring still flowing. It is directly to the W of a ringfort (WM024-063----). At the E head of the well is a limestone boulder (WM024-060001-) of square shape which may have been deliberately erected there’ (SMR File 23/04/1976). The 1838 Ordnance Survey Memoranda records in a letter from Fenwick to Larcom that ‘at the well by the fort is an upright stone about 3 ft. [0.9m] high...well called Tubber na Slath and was formerly a place of pilgrimage but is now disused’ (SMR File). Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 10 March 2016
