What is recorded here

Toberclogh is a holy well in County Galway where clear water still escapes a rectangular rock box barely wider than a man outstretched. The stone chamber opens toward the southwest, as if inviting people in rather than hiding the water. A forgotten limekiln sits fifty metres south, suggesting that this was never a quiet place: people came here to drink, pray, burn stone or simply sit with the pressure of living near something older than their own names.

In a small natural depression at N limits of a field system (GA028-021----). A spring well enclosed by a roughly rectangular stretch of natural rock outcrop (NE-SW; L6m, Wth 2.3m) opening out to SW. There is a limekiln c. 50m to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
