What is recorded here
Tobernaneeve marks the lost site of a holy well in County Clare, where clean water likely fed both life and prayer. The name still points to a small, vivid relationship between people and the land, even though the basin has vanished from memory. Perhaps women washed feverish children there at dawn, or men drank before dangerous journeys. The absence does not erase the function; it redirects attention to the repeated acts that needed a witness.
