Toberchreest/Tobar Críosta (KE065-079----) is a shallow, slab-lined well is located in woodland close to the W bank of the River Loe, a tributary of the Laune. It occurs at the base of a domed structure, roughly built in stone, which stands 1.52m high and measures 1.6m in diameter. The structure is surmounted by a modern iron cross.
Lying 1m to E is a thin slab, .37m x .31m, which features crosses on both faces; on the first is a small Latin cross, with expanded terminals, and the letters J, W and D beneath, while the second face features a similar, though larger, cross.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1061. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
