The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located at the base of a NE-facing ridge slope. This holy well is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, where it is named ‘Toberkeelan’. It appears to have fallen out of use by the time of the 1917 edition, where is annotated ‘Toberkeelan (Site of)’. The remains consist of a shallow damp depression immediately to W of a modern drain.
