Toberbreanal

In a thicket of hazel and blackthorn, in the base of a steep-sided stream gully (Wth 6-8m; D c. 2m), on level ground c. 3m S of the W-flowing stream. The well, named ‘Toberbreanal’ on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps, consists of a rectangular pit (1.1m NE−SW; 1.4m NW−SE; D 1m) with vertical, stone-faced sides, now largely moss-covered. There is an opening in the wall at the NW end, where two shallow steps lead down to the water. There is a penitential cairn (MA040-032001-) immediately to NE.

Linked to Saint Bréanail, Toberbreanal well is traditionally associated with cures for skin ailments and was historically visited for ritual washing. The name derives from 'Tobar Bhreanail,' reflecting the saint’s connection to the site, though specific folklore or detailed accounts of her life are not well recorded.
