Tobernamanneeve — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

On low-lying ground, at the WNW end of Abbeylara village. Farrell (1891, 266) recorded that there was possibly 'a sacred well near the Abbey of Lerha (LF011-036001-), which was called the Well of the Saintesses'. This natural spring is defined by a circular mortared wall (diam. 0.9m), which has recently been modernised. In addition, a wellhouse has been constructed over it. The well is known locally as the 'Well of the Holy Woman'. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 7 June 2013

Tobernamanneeve is associated with "the Saintesses," possibly female religious figures or nuns linked to the nearby Abbey of Lerha. The name and tradition suggest a medieval Christian devotion, with the well likely used for healing or baptismal rites.
