The National Monuments Service's description
Named 'Toberaroughta' on 1842 and 1905 OS 6-inch maps; 'site of' on 1935 OS 6-inch map. Mallow railway station now occupies site. The OS Field Book of 1839 gives 'Tobar an Uchta' or 'Well of the Breast' (Bolster 1971, 88). According to Grove White (1905-25, vol. 3, 76), it once was 'a Holy Well of considerable repute'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
