What is recorded here

By a shingle beach at the head of Port, a small bay on N side of Cleggan Head. Known locally as Tobar Na Seacht nlníon, it consists of a small natural spring enclosed by a roughly square drystone wall (L/Wth 2m) with an entrance at NW. There is an alcove in S wall containing modern offerings. Immediately to SSE is a ruinous circular structure (D c. 2m) marked on OS 6-inch map as 'Monument'; possibly a leacht or a small shelter for visitors.

Tobernaseachtinnean is associated with the Seven Sisters, a common motif in Irish holy well folklore, often linked to miraculous cures and protective charms. The site's name and setting suggest a tradition of pilgrimage and healing, possibly connected to early Christian or pre-Christian beliefs.
