The National Monuments Service's description
Toberallen Church (WM012-180----) and churchyard (WM012-180002-) lies 75m to NE. The stream running N-S which marks the townland boundary with Knockatee lies 5m to W. Two wells are depicted at this location of the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map and the well to the N is annotated as 'Toberallen'. On this map both wells are depicted with water flowing out at SW and into the stream which marks the townland boundary. No surface remains of either well visible as the stream has been dredged and spoil spread over the location of both wells.
