What is recorded here

Toberbreedia is a holy well in Stonepark (frenchpark By., Fairymount Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. Marked similarly on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, the spring emerges from a rock outcrop on a gentle S-facing slope and is enclosed by a concrete kerb. A grass-covered rectangular penitential cairn sits just to the N, while two pump-houses stand nearby with no other evidence of veneration.

Toberbreedia is a holy well traditionally associated with St Bride or Brigid, a widely venerated early Irish saint linked to healing and fertility. The site reflects a broader Celtic tradition of sacred springs dedicated to saintly figures, often used for ritual washing or drinking to seek cures for ailments.
