The National Monuments Service's description
'Toberconnell' a holy well. Located close to the shore on the S end of Loughros peninsula in fair pasture land. Described by Ó Muirgheasa as 'Tobar Chonaill, or St. Conall Caol's Well, on Loughros peninsula, west of Ardara. The turus, now discontinued, I believe, went from Tobar Chonaill round by Cloch Buidhe, Druim Miotain, and Cill Chaisil" (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 151) (Ó Muirgheasa No. 36)
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
