The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as Tobernasool - the well of the eyes? - and situated on a low-lying landscape. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Its location is not certain, but church (RO020-001001-) is c. 70-100m to the NE and the name suggests that it may have had a cure for eye complaints.
