The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1839 and 1925 Eds of the OS 6-inch map and described in gothic lettering on both as Tober Shivaun. It is situated on a gentle N-facing slope and is described locally as a circular hollow defined by stones with steps leading down to it. It went dry after land drainage and was filled in c. 1985. There is no evidence of the well or that it was ever venerated, and there is no local knowledge of veneration.
