Toberneebha is traditionally associated with St. Neebha, a lesser-known early Irish saint, and was historically visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for skin ailments and eye complaints. The well’s circular drystone construction reflects a common design in early Christian and prehistoric ritual sites in Ireland.
