What is recorded here

Toberregan is a holy well in County Limerick, Ireland, where a slight trickle still escapes an eroded river bank. People once walked rounds at the site and drank water believed to cure headaches. The local name Egan's Well suggests a person lived near the water, tended the bank or simply gave the place its identity.
