What is recorded here

Toberrengur is a vanished holy well hidden in a wooded glen beside Aghmarta demesne in County Cork. It may have given clean water, quiet prayer or seasonal relief before the forest closed over its stones. Aghmarta still stands near the place where memory lost the well, keeping the absence alive.

In wooded glen on W side of Aghmarta demesne. Overgrown; unable to locate. O'Leary (1919, 83) places well in Aghmarta townland and notes ...'Short Little Well, of which, there is now no trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Toberrengur, also known as the Short Little Well, was associated with local healing traditions, though no specific saint or cure is clearly recorded. The site, now overgrown and unlocated, was noted by O'Leary in 1919 within the Aghmarta townland.
