Tobar Ailbhe Holy Well

Tobar Ailbhe Holy Well stands in County Sligo as a memorial, marking a place where water and memory still mix. The name suggests Ailbhe, yet no further fact survives to confirm whether she was a saint, a child, a lover or a phantom. People may have dipped cups into that well, tied ribbons to its edge or whispered warnings about drowning. The hole in the ground remains, waiting for someone to remember why it was cut.
