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.
