What is recorded here

Dense hazel thicket still chokes the clint pavement where Tobershanvally hid, though no water or stone remained visible when inspected in 1997. The name survived on maps from 1842 and 1915, pointing to a ritual site buried beneath centuries of field clearance and forgotten prayer. Two ancient cooking pits sit nearby, suggesting people gathered here to feed others before disappearing into the same green silence that now swallows the well.

On rough clint and gryke pavement covered with dense hazel thicket at the E foot of moderately steep slope. A small stream flows NE past the E side of the site and field clearance is dumped to the SE. Indicated and named ‘Tobershanbally’ on the 1842 and 1915 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. On inspection in 1997 no visible remains were found. A surrounding field system (CL006-168----) with elements of potential antiquity extends SW to the site of a possible burial ground (CL006-027----). Two fulachtaí fia (CL006-028002- and CL006-028003-) lie c. 20m SE and c. 30m NE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 4 May 2021
