Tobernamulla, also known as Toomour, was a holy well formerly venerated for its spiritual or healing significance, as noted by Wood-Martin in 1892. The name suggests a possible dedication to Mary ("Mulla" being a variant of "Mhuire"), indicating a tradition of Marian pilgrimage or devotion in the area.
