What is recorded here

At a bend in a small stream valley, the stream flows into the River Nore c. 600m to the NE. It is located c. 220m NW of a church (KK014-056001-) and graveyard (KK014-056002-). According to the OS Letters (1839) this holy well was called, 'Tobar a Chroinn, i.e., the Well of the Tree from a large ash that grows over it. Stations were performed here long ago but they are now neglected' (O'Flanagan (ed.) 1930, vol. 2, 78 (26)). Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 196) mentions that, 'its ancient name as appears from a document [dated 1430-31]...was Tiobar Breannain, or St. Brendan's Well'. There is no visible trace of the well at ground level. Visited by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 8 June 2020

Toberacrin, Troyswood is traditionally associated with Saint Cronan, a 6th-century Irish saint known for founding monastic sites in County Tipperary and Clare. The well may have been visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for eye ailments, a common association with wells dedicated to Saint Cronan.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
