What is recorded here

Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as Toberball in gothic script. The name may derive from balbh – dumb, but is probably a corruption of Toberdhall – Blind Well. It is situated at the E edge of a wide N-S valley, but is not visible at ground level. It is not known if it was ever venerated. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 August, 2012
