The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, at the base of a gentle S-facing slope. Named ‘Toberkeelty’ on the 1837 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps. Natural spring emerging from the base of the slope, where it collects as a small unenclosed pool, before flowing as a stream to SE through an area of wet ground. A concrete pipe has been inserted into the pool. There is no evidence that this well is of any great antiquity and no local tradition of use as a holy well.
