In pasture, located in a natural depression overshadowed c. 20m to NW by a ridge, on top of which is an ecclesiastical enclosure (MA093-014001-) which encloses a ringfort (MA093-014005-), a children’s burial ground (MA093-014002-) and bullaun stone (MA093-014003-). To E-SE of the well, is a flat, lowlying expanse of damp pasture, now planted with forestry.
This holy well is named ‘Tubberthana’ on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. It consists of a roughly rectangular pool (4m N–S; 2m E–W) fed by a natural spring. At the time of visit, the pool was choked with pond weed, and was enclosed by a post and wire fence. A field drain carries outflow to the W through the forestry.
