What is recorded here

Natural spring annotated as 'Well' on 25-inch OS map may be the well after which the townland was named. In 1488 a Dominican Friary (WM017-098----) was founded at 'Fons-chormaici' or Tobercormick (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 234). This well may be the site of the 'Fons-chormaici' mentioned in the 15th century foundation of Tobercormick Dominican Friary. Alternatively the wells shown on the OS 6-inch map beside Toberville House could be the location of the 'Fons-chormaici'.
