What is recorded here

Marked similarly on the 1837 and 1914 eds. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the marshy S shore of Clogher Lake (dims c. 1 km E-W; c. 100-200m N-S), c. 50m from the lake. Regarded as a holy well with a cure for headaches (OS Name Books), it was used in 1971 as a domestic water source (Gannon 1972) but is no longer visible at ground level. Crannog (RO010-031----) is c. 180m to the N at the N edge of the lake. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Toberlonaun is associated with a cure for headaches or head ailments, a common attribute of many holy wells in Ireland. The site's long-standing recognition, marked on Ordnance Survey maps from 1837 and 1914, suggests a continuity of local tradition and reverence.
