The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a SW-facing dip on a marked slope in grassland. The well was already neglected in the early 19th century (O'Flanagan 1928, 118). Marked on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as 'Tobervilla', which is defined in the OS Letters as tobar an bhiolair, 'the well of the watercress'. No visible remains.
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.
