What is recorded here

Toberkeelty is a small spring pool at the base of a gentle slope in County Mayo, named on maps from 1837 and 1919. It has no known holy tradition or ancient claim, only a concrete pipe inserted into its water and a stream flowing southeast through wet ground. The place is ordinary in fact but still alive in image: a hidden cup of water beneath a farm slope, perhaps drunk by children, perhaps forgotten by adults.

In improved pasture, at the base of a gentle S-facing slope. Named ‘Toberkeelty’ on the 1837 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps. Natural spring emerging from the base of the slope, where it collects as a small unenclosed pool, before flowing as a stream to SE through an area of wet ground. A concrete pipe has been inserted into the pool. There is no evidence that this well is of any great antiquity and no local tradition of use as a holy well.
