In flat marshland, c. 35m to the SW of the Killoran River. Named ‘Toberoran’ on the 1838 and 1947 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. This small natural spring is surrounded by traces of a low bank of earth and stone (max. H 0.3m). On inspection the well appeared much destroyed and almost completely filled in, though some water (D c. 0.15m) was still visible within a small drain-like feature. A number of coloured stones were scattered around it. According to local information, the stones were offerings to St Oran, to whom the well is dedicated.
