What is recorded here

Some 250m SE of Teampall na Naomh (GA040-013004-). This well, correctly Tobar na Naomh, consists of a natural spring, dry at time of visit, with traces of a stone revetment. There is a channel running W from it to the shore. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.

Linked to the saints of Teampall na Naomh, the well (Tobar na Naomh) is traditionally associated with early Christian monastic activity on Inchagoill. It may have been used for ritual purification or as a site of pilgrimage, though specific cures or folklore connected to the well are not well documented.
