Tobernagrania is traditionally associated with Saint Gobnait, a 6th-century Irish saint known for her healing powers and protection of bees. The well's name, derived from "Tobar na Gobhnaíthe," reflects its historical link to her cult, though specific local cures or rituals connected to the site are not well documented.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
