Tobercahillboght

In pasture, located in wet ground at the base of a N-facing slope. This holy well is named Tobercahillboght on the 1837 and 1913 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a circular, steep sided hole (diam. 0.55m, D 0.8m) whose sides and floor are lined with stones. It is now dry. It is located 12m to SE of a natural spring, which emerges from the base of the slope and flows N into a small pool. There is a crucifix plaque (SL012-067002-), located within a small circle of stones, 2m E of the stone-lined well. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

This holy well is associated with Saint Cahill, a 7th-century Irish saint known for his ascetic practices and healing miracles. Locally, the well was traditionally visited for cures related to eye ailments and general wellness, with pilgrims often making the journey on specific feast days.
