The National Monuments Service's description

Described in gothic script as Tobermogue on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and located on a NE-facing slope with a small NW-SE stream c. 130m to the NE. This is a natural spring named after St. Maodhóg of Ferns, with no evidence of, or record of, veneration. A church (WX027-021001-) and graveyard (WX027-021002-) and Toberrevagh well (WX027-022----) are c. 130m to the ESE.
