The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-facing slope on the NW bank of the River Rine in an undulating field with some rock outcrop. Named 'Toberinneenboy' on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and 'Toberinneenboy (Site of)' on the 1922 edition. An overgrown area (diam. c. 4m) around a tree at this location has some rocks at the base but no stone setting is evident and there is no sign of a spring.
