The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise of ground near the E shore of Lough Derg. A shallow depression (Wth 1.8m) is all that survives of Toberaughan. No enclosing element or votive offerings visible. Described in the Ordnance Survey Namebooks (1840) as a 'holy well so called but does not represent any matter worthy of remark'.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
