No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Cregmahon.

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- GA128-042: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA128-042----. At the E edge of a rocky hillock in undulating grassland. Named ‘Toberlauva’ on the 1838 and 1915 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. On inspection in August 1991 this spring well was surrounded by a U-shaped drystone wall (c. 0.9m N-S; c. 0.8m E-W), which was set flush with ground surface and opened to the E. A number of votive offerings, including horseshoes, religious medals and statuettes, were visible on a dead tree trunk that overlay it. Votive offerings were also tied to a tree to the S of the well. According to local information, stations still took place around the well but no clearly defined pathway was evident. The well was subsequently restored as part of a Social Employment Scheme and on a revisit in September 1992 a number of changes were evident. A mortared stone wall, built on the original drystone wall, surrounded it. The dead tree trunk had been removed the votive offerings that had been on it were removed and replaced on the mortared wall. A gravel pathway surrounded the well and an unsurfaced pathway accessed it from the N. The well is believed to cure ailments of the hand (McNamara and Madden n.d., 44-5).

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
