Well in Cloonydonigan Lower

Well

What is recorded here

Toberaspagher Fort in Cloonydonigan Lower took its name from a handsome spring at the eastern edge, feeding a little stream of pure water. The well has since vanished without visible remains, leaving behind only the fort name and a absent line of water on the land.
In a rath (KE058-040001-). In the 1840s it was recorded that Toberaspagher Fort derives its name from 'a handsome spring well which is in the eastern extremity of it out of which issues a little stream of pure spring' (OSNB, Kilcredane, 15). According to the landowner, there was a well or spring here up to some years ago but there are no visible remains of it.
