The National Monuments Service's description
Toberelane/Tobar Faoláin: A stream issues from under a large stone which bears some graffiti, including an incised cross of probably modern origin. There are no recorded traditions associated with the well which lies about 200m NW of the early ecclesiastical site at Killelane (KE043-157001-).
Ó Danachair (1960, 77) recorded the following details about this well; ' "Toberelane" on 1842 map; "Tobar Faolain" - An Seabhac, op. cit. No tradition survives'.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 944. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
