What is recorded here

Marked on the 1837 and 1914 eds of the OS 6-inch map at the NE edge of rath (RO023-095001-), and described as a holy well known as 'Toberabrilloge' (OS Name Books). It is now occupied by a pond (dims 10m x 8m; D 1.6m) excavated in the fosse of the rath. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
Linked to Saint Patrick, the well was traditionally visited for its healing properties, particularly for skin ailments. Local tradition holds that the water was efficacious when taken on specific feast days, and the site was likely a focus of early Christian pilgrimage.
