The National Monuments Service's description
Natural spring well situated in large waterlogged hollow depression (dims. 13m N-S; 8m E-W; D 1.2m) on the S bank of the river Suir in flat grassland with good views in all directions. Modern concrete slabs over spring well, no evidence of any votive offerings or any evidence of pilgrimage to this well. Toberaphaddreen means "Well of the Rosary Beads". Possible holy well based on its OS designation.
