Tibereraronanig

Well

What is recorded here

Marked as a well called 'Toberarananaig' on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and as 'Tobar a Rónánaig' on the 1927 ed. It is situated on relatively high ground at the head of a valley that opens out to the SW, and in the corner of a field. Rev. P. Power thought that it was not a holy well, but named after a local person called Roynane (OS Name Books). This is a small rectangular hollow (dims. 0.88m x 0.77m; D 0.8m) defined by stones that have been cemented, but there is no evidence of veneration.
