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.
