What is recorded here
Toberallen is a holy well in Toberaquill, County Westmeath, Ireland. The 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map depicts two wells at this location, with the northern well annotated as Toberallen and both shown with water flowing southwest into a stream that marks the townland boundary with Knockatee. The church and churchyard lie 75 metres to the northeast, while the stream lies 5 metres to the west, and the source notes that no surface remains of either well are visible because the stream has been dredged and spoil spread over the location of both.
Toberallen Church (WM012-180----) and churchyard (WM012-180002-) lies 75m to NE. The stream running N-S which marks the townland boundary with Knockatee lies 5m to W. Two wells are depicted at this location of the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map and the well to the N is annotated as 'Toberallen'. On this map both wells are depicted with water flowing out at SW and into the stream which marks the townland boundary. No surface remains of either well visible as the stream has been dredged and spoil spread over the location of both wells.
