The National Monuments Service's description
In 1836 it was recorded that the village of Toberscanavan takes its name from a holy well which formerly existed in the neighbourhood but which was destroyed by the building of the mail coach road (OSNB vol. 1, 103). The exact location of this well is not known.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
