What is recorded here

Toberinneenboy was a holy well on the River Rine when the 1840 map named it, but the 1922 edition already called it a lost site. That quick change suggests the water stopped flowing or people stopped visiting before the century turned. The field still holds a narrow ring of rocks around a tree, waiting for the memory of clean water to return.
On an E-facing slope on the NW bank of the River Rine in an undulating field with some rock outcrop. Named 'Toberinneenboy' on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and 'Toberinneenboy (Site of)' on the 1922 edition. An overgrown area (diam. c. 4m) around a tree at this location has some rocks at the base but no stone setting is evident and there is no sign of a spring.
