What is recorded here

Described in gothic script as Tobercarrigeen - the well of the little rock - on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It is located just NW of a col between Lacken Hill c. 700m to the SW of the col and another hill c. 700m to the N. It is also at the head of a SE-NW valley. This is a natural spring at the base of rock outcrop that lies to the E. There is no evidence of a structure or that it was ever venerated, but it is the source of a stream that runs off to the NW. Rath (WX029-017----) is c. 150m to the W. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 1 August, 2012
