The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, adjacent to a field fence, located immediately N of a small rise.
Named ‘Tobermolt’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps, this well was, according to the 1838 OS Letters, formerly used as a holy well (O’Flanagan 1927, 176-7 (93-4)). At the location there is a natural spring enclosed by a concrete surround and incorporated into a modern field drain.
