The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as St. Catherine's Well on the 1840 and 1927 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated c. 70m NW of the Augustinian priory (WA031-040005-). It was also known as Toberacaut (Fitzgerald 1913-16, 367), but Power (1952, 113) doubted if it was a holy well. It is not visible at ground level.
