What is recorded here

Toberbullaun was a holy well in County Kerry where water once filled a stone depression before people redirected the spring across a field boundary. The clean water still flows, but it no longer touches the sacred stone or feeds the little shrine that likely stood there. This is a common fate for old wells: human needs reshape them until memory fades.

In poorly drained level pasture. There are no visible remains of this well. According to local information, there was also a bullaun stone (KE047-045001-) here. The spring has since been diverted to the other side of the field boundary to the N. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

Toberbullaun is associated with a holy well and a bullaun stone, traditionally linked to Saint Nare, with the site believed to have been used for ritual water blessings and healing. The name "Toberbullaun" reflects the presence of both a well ("tober") and a bullaun stone, which were often used in early Christian and prehistoric ritual practices.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
