Toberaribba

On the lowermost north-western slopes of Knocknashee Mountain. A spring well revetted by a drystone wall and roofed by lintels. There is no evidence of recent veneration at this well. It may be the well which Wood-Martin (1892, 355-6, n. 1) mentioned in Cashel North which had been 'formerly held in estimation as "holy"'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

Toberaribba is traditionally associated with Saint Ribba, a 7th-century Irish saint known for her healing miracles. The well may have been visited for cures related to skin ailments and general wellness, following the common Celtic tradition of holy well veneration.
