The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture on gentle N facing 30m SE of Tobersenan holy well (LI013-060----). Present remains consist of a spring (Wth. 2.1m N-S x 1.4m E-W) immediately W of a modern pump house. Two limestone flags (L. 0.6m N-S, Wth. 0.5m) partially cover the spring to the N and S and the remainder is covered with a concrete slatted lid. N of the flags three limestones are arranged E-W. No evidence to suggest that this was a holy well. Probable natural spring well.
