The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as Tobernacrohaneebha – the Well of the Holy Cross. It is situated in a slight fold on a gentle S-facing slope and at the bottom of an E-facing scarp. It is surrounded by drystone walling (diam. c. 2m) and water runs off to the S, but there is no evidence of veneration. Lady’s Well (WX030-037----) is c. 30m to the SSW.
