In pasture, on NW edge of boggy area shown as pond on 1937 OS 6-inch map. Well barely visible due to overgrowth, no longer in holy use. Recorded by Grove White (1905-25, vol. 1, 140) as holy well '...called Tobernagleenagh. According to local tradition, a saint was passing through Kilmaclenine (about 2 miles to the north), and being thirsty he asked for a drink of water from a well there. It was refused. He took up the well in the tail of his gown and dropped it at Ballykitt. The water is considered a cure for all diseases. The people pay rounds here.'

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
