Tober Reeoge

Marked as a single well on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as two pm the 1915 ed. but it is described as Tober Reeoge - the well of the young king - on both. It is situated in a low-lying landscape and is described locally as two circular wells, one of which was holy while the other was used for secular purposes. It is now modernised into a concrete well with no evidence of veneration, and with a pump-house nearby. There is a record of an inscribed stone commemoration Fr. Patrick Mulligan who erected a stone wall at the location in 1721 (Siggins 1992, 77), but this is now missing.

Tober Reeoge, or the Well of the Young King, is associated with a local tradition linking it to a youthful monarch, possibly of mythological or early historical origin. The name suggests a connection to a figure of royal or legendary status, though specific folklore or recorded cures tied to the site are not well documented.
