What is recorded here

A natural crevice in a rock at the base of Mulnamin Hill with rough stone walls arid a slab roof. Marked Tobernameeloge on the maps the site is still visited. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
Linked to Saint Nameeloge, the well is traditionally associated with cures for skin ailments and is visited by pilgrims seeking healing. The name and veneration suggest a local early Christian tradition, though historical records of the saint are scarce.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
