What is recorded here
Annotated 'Tobernapiobaire' (Tobar an Phíobaire /The Piper's Well) on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map where it is shown as a spring well with stream flowing N from N side of well. Outline of well visible on Digital Globe orthoimages taken between 2011-13. The well stands in the parish of Galbally, in the barony of Coshlea.
Linked to a piper or musician, possibly a local figure or folk saint, the well may have been associated with healing or protection, common in traditions where music or art are seen as divine gifts. The name suggests a folkloric or pre-Christian influence, where wells were often connected to otherworldly beings or curative powers.
