What is recorded here

In level pasture. A drystone-lined well, topped by a drystone wall (ext. H 1.3m). There is no evidence of recent veneration at this well.

Date of upload: 18 January 2008
Toberaraght, Tobercurry is associated with Saint Raght, a lesser-known early Irish saint, and may have been a site of pilgrimage for cures related to eye ailments. The name "Tobercurry" may also reflect a later association with Saint Curry, reflecting the common practice of linking wells to multiple saints over time.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
