The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described as Toberacrava in gothic lettering on both. It is located towards the bottom of a W-facing slope. This is a natural spring which is the source of a strong stream running W where the N-S Tomgarrow River is c. 160m distant. There is no evidence of, or record of, veneration.
