What is recorded here

Some 85m NW of, and upslope from, an oratory (GA081-011001-). This well, correctly Tobar Éinne, is a natural spring delimited by an oval drystone wall (1.17m by 0.8m) with an entrance at SE. According to Killanin (1947, 122) it is resorted to for diseases of the eye.

Tobereany, Cill Ogúla is associated with Saint Éinne, a lesser-known early Irish saint, and the well, Tobar Éinne, was traditionally visited for its supposed healing properties, particularly for eye ailments. The site's small drystone enclosure and proximity to an oratory suggest its religious and ritual significance in early Christian times.
