What is recorded here
It is called Toberindiry in the Civil Survey (1654-6) where it is a significant point on the boundary between Meelinagh and Castle Ellis parishes (Simington 1953, 51). It is described as Toberdeera on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and is located just off the SW-facing slope of a col between hills c. 900m to the NNW and c. 370m to the SSE and at a point where three townlands meet. This is a natural spring that is the source of two streams, one of which is the River Sow and runs off to the SW and the other runs off the to the S but joins the Sow below Ballaghkeen village, c. 1.5km distant. There is no evidence that it was ever venerated.
