Tobernalt is a holy well in north County Sligo, Ireland near the southwest corner of Lough Gill. It is an ancient natural spring dating back to the 5th century as a pagan meeting place and later a Penal Law mass site. [1]
As of 2016 [update] it is maintained by St John's Parish, Carraroe, Sligo. [2] Masses are conducted at the site. The devoted from surrounding counties and elsewhere make pilgrimages to the site on Garland Sunday when a day-long schedule of devotions is held.
Near the well there is a reputed "healing stone" associated with St. Patrick. Patrick's fingerprints are said to be on the stone. [3]
