What is recorded here

Toberclashnaerinaght is a small abandoned holy well on a west-facing slope above Poulgorm bay in County Cork. Its shallow stone-lined basin sits inside a low mound scattered with quartz, bright enough to catch light even when the sea below turns grey. It no longer serves prayer, yet the quartz still marks the spot where water once emerged for human hope.

On W-facing slope, overlooking Poulgorm bay. Low mound of stone with circular stone-lined depression (D 0.3m). Numerous quartz stones in mound. No longer in holy use. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
