What is recorded here

Tubberlaonann is a roadside holy well in County Cork, Ireland. Its rectangular stone wall and slab roof still stand beside the wet, overgrown ground where devotion once gathered. The well no longer serves prayers, but the boundary of its chamber remains clear enough to show that people shaped the place for ritual use.

Roadside. Enclosed by rectangular stone wall; roofed with slab. Surrounding area wet; overgrown; no longer in holy use. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994).
