Holy well

What is recorded here

Ó Danachair (1955, 213) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'Toberkinangle on 1840 map. "Not inserted on plan, not known by the inhabitants as found by particular enquiry. It is. A Well. Holy Well on plan".OSNB. From this entry in the Name Books it appears to have been doubtful even then. There is no tradition now'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 03 July 2019
Toberkinangle is associated with a local holy well, traditionally visited for its supposed healing properties, though specific saints or cures linked to the site are not clearly recorded. The well's existence was noted in historical surveys, though it appears to have been forgotten or obscure by the mid-20th century.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
