In lowlying, rough pasture, located 5m S of a canalised stream and c. 70m SW of the shore of Lough Coughlan, and overlooked to SW by an esker/gravel ridge, now partly quarried out.
This holy well is indicated on the 1838 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps where it is named ‘Tobercoghlan’.
The well is entirely concealed by brambles and gorse, and is fenced off by post and wire fencing. Probing beneath the overgrowth suggests that it is enclosed by a stone wall, possibly forming a circular structure, diam. c. 1.8m and depth c. 1.2m.
