The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the foot of a very steep S-facing slope overlooking a stream. Natural spring now piped into a trough. Price (1967, 437) suggests the original name is Tobar Aimheirgín, rather than a dedication to the Virgin Mary.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
