The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the bottom of a N-S valley with a stream c. 20m to the W and c. 100m N of the junction with a larger E-W stream. Marked similarly as 'Toberquan' on the 1840 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map, it is a natural spring, now completely overgrown and with no evidence of or record of veneration. Rathmoylan church (WA027-041001-) is c. 270m to the SE.
