Recorded monuments

• GA066-002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On rough land 0.5km S of the Doire Bhriosc road just outside the former limits of cultivated land. Known locally as Tobar Phádraig, it consists of a small natural water-filled hollow with a diminutive drystone canopy over it. Circa 3.5m to NW is a natural boulder bedecked, like the well, with modern offerings, including rounded beach pebbles. The latter were brought from Tobar Cholmcille in An Chloch Mhór Theas (GA091-006----) by a local girl not long ago. Frequented on the last Sunday in July (pers. comm. T. Robinson). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
