The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, on trackway running NNE-SSW as it traverses a land drain (D c. 3-4m). The well may have been removed when the drain was deepened or may exist under the trackway. It is indicated on both 1st (1840) and 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map as 'Toberadoney' which may have been anglicised from 'Tobar an Domhnaigh', meaning Sunday's Well. It is not visible at ground level.
