What is recorded here

No surface remains visible of the site Tobber na Saggart (the priest's well) was described by Hickson (1885-6, 499) as; 'a well called Tobber na Saggart (i.e. the priest's well), on a townland called Ballintobeenig'. Ó Danachair (1958, 163) was doubtful about this site and he recorded that; 'no tradition seems to have survived'.
