The National Monuments Service's description
Located in woodland on a level, low-lying landscape. It is marked on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Tober Bridget’. It now supplies water to local houses and there is no evidence of any antiquity. It is noted in the local folklore (IFC Schools manuscripts, 931, 30) but there is no pattern associated with it.
