What is recorded here

At the bottom of a terrace on the W bank of the S-N Killukin River, c. 140-160m to the E. The site of this holy well was recorded by John O'Donovan in 1837 (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 120), but even then it had been abandoned. It is now occupied by a concrete well and pump-house.

Tober Connellan is associated with Saint Connellan, a 7th-century Irish monk and hermit known for his ascetic practices and healing miracles. The well was traditionally visited for cures related to eye ailments and general healing, with pilgrims often making offerings of coins or cloth.
