What is recorded here

Toberwingan is a holy well in Cloonkeen (castlereagh By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. A lone whitethorn tree stands beside the well and was documented by Gannon in 1972 with torn cloth strips tied to its branches. The rags are no longer visible, leaving the tree and dry oval well as the remaining outline of that local practice.

Toberwingan, a dry oval well (dims 2m x 1.5m; D 0.6m) enclosed by a drystone wall, is c. 50m SW of the church (RO026-016001-). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Linked to Saint Wingan, the well was traditionally visited for cures related to skin ailments and general health. It is associated with early Christian pilgrimage practices, though specific folklore or historical records about the saint are scarce.
