What is recorded here

Toberlaughteen is a circular holy well dedicated to St. Laughteen, set on a steep south-facing slope beside the Kilnamona church and graveyard in County Clare. People once gathered there each March to honour the saint, yet that open devotion has faded from memory. The small corbelled canopy still leans over the water, preserving a quiet invitation for whoever stands beside it to remember what the village once believed.

On a steep S-facing slope, and 17m SE of Kilnamona church (CL033-006001-) and graveyard (CL033-006002-). Toberlaughteen, dedicated to St. Laughteen, is a circular well (diam. 0.95m) with a corbelled canopy. It was venerated on 19th March (O'Flanagan 1928, vol. 1, 65), but there is no evidence of veneration now. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 27 April 2016

Toberlaughteen is dedicated to St. Laughteen, a lesser-known early Irish saint, and is associated with local traditions of healing and pilgrimage. The well's corbelled canopy and proximity to a church suggest its historical and spiritual significance in the community.
