• KE014-020001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  This is marked on the 1842 and 1916 OS maps as 'Toberlackan' (Tobar Leacan - well of (the) hillside). Situation and Description: This well would seem to have been situated in a circular enclosure (KE014-020004-) on the 1842 map.

  Description
