Tobermacduagh or Cloghannanack Well

In pastureland, at the base of a slope on the E side of a marshy hollow. This well-preserved spring well is enclosed by a small wedge-shaped chamber (1.4m N-S) that opens to the NNE (Wth 1.3m; H 1.6m) and narrows towards the rear (Wth 0.5m; H 1.1m). It is roofed with three broad thin limestone lintels (max. L 1.36m; Wth 0.5m; T 0.15m) and five stone steps lead down to the water. The side-walls are constructed of heavily mortared roughly coursed limestone blocks and the E side is bulging inwards. No votive offerings were noted but a whitethorn bush is growing close by to the S. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 19 December 2022

Linked to St. MacDuagh, an early Irish saint associated with several holy sites in the region, the well is traditionally visited for its healing properties, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin. The surrounding stone chamber reflects a common devotional practice of enclosing holy wells to preserve their sacred space and water source.
