In rough heather-covered grazing land, on the N-facing slopes of Knockeirka. A holy well, named 'Tobernawahnee' is indicated here on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. The well consists of an irregularly shaped natural depression (L 0.8m; Wth 0.6m; D 0.4m) in outcropping rock. Water flows into the depression from a spring at the base of a vertical fissure in the N face of the outcropping rock. There is a hut site (KE102-006001-) c. 50m to the E.
