What is recorded here

Within SE-sector of enclosure (TS060-017001-). Access not gained. Impenetrable vegetation in this area of interior. Yellow flags at base of scarp at SE may correspond to a natural spring which may have fed the well. Spring may have originated here as ground very wet underfoot and ground slopes down to S.

Tobernaglory is a holy well traditionally associated with Saint Fachtna, a 6th-century Irish saint known for his ascetic practices and healing miracles. The name "Tobernaglory" derives from "Tobar na Ghlóirí," meaning "the well of the glories," reflecting its historical role as a site of pilgrimage and devotion.
