The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of a N-facing slope with a small E-W stream c. 70m to the N. A well annotated as ‘Tobernagarran’ in gothic script is depicted on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. Nothing else is known about it, but from aerial imagery it, and from the removal of the field bank where it was located, it would appear to have been removed before 1995 (OSAP).
