The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as Tobermore (Spring)', and situated in a low-lying landscape. It is now occupied by a resevoir, but was also known locally as 'Tober Bríd' (Gannon 1972). It is the source of the Killegland stream, but there is no evidence that it was ever a venerated holy well.
