Tober Beoaid is listed amongst the holy places of north Leitrim in a seventeenth century manuscript (Mooney 1946, 67), and it was still frequented in the nineteenth century (O’ Flanagan 1929, 134). It was associated with St Beoaidh of Ardcarn, Co. Roscommon (RO006-103002-) (Ó Riain 2011, 103). The well might still be extant, although it was not recognised in 1991.
