The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in low-lying, wet pasture. Annotated ‘Tober Fintan’ and depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a spring well. Monument described in 1978 as a very small, natural surface spring, rising in waterlogged ground. The well is enclosed with a wide drain running to NE from it. The ground around has been trampled by livestock.
