Cahercalla

Toberbrassil, Tobar Breasail, Cahercalla
This well is one of three listed in close proximity to each other in this townland. The other wells are Tobernaghtan and Toberlanniv. The well lies on the north-east side of the Cahercalla road, about half a kilometer from Corbally Cross. There is a stile leading to the field. The well lies approximately 150 metres in from the road.The well is old and rustic, with a few stone steps leading to the water. A dry stone moss-covered wall protects it. Nettles and briars are beginning to take over the well area. A very old blackthorn stands by the well. Close by is water pooling from the well run-off.

The area where the well is said to be located is a dip or depression, on the bank of the river on the west side of Hell River Bridge. The site is beside a working farm with cattle in the vicinity. There was no evidence of the well site to be seen on the day of the research visit. The area is covered in brambles. The photograph provided shows the general area inside the hedge where the well is said to have stood.

The well two fields from the Toonagh road, on the west side of Hell River, immediately before the bridge. The well site is only detectable from a fence put in place some time ago. No spring, stones, offerings etc. mark the location.
