The National Monuments Service's description
Within a burial ground (CL035-072001-), off-centre to S, on a steep NW-facing slope. Depicted and named ‘Tobermochulla’ on all OS historic mapping. Not visible at ground level. According to local information, the old people use to talk about the holy well, which has dried up now as all the large oak trees in the burial ground have taken up the water.
