Located just above the base of a gentle SE-facing slope in undulating good grazing land. An E−W field wall lies immediately to S.
Named ‘Toberglassan’ on the 1838 and 1915 OS 6-inch maps. A subcircular sunken area (2.6m N−S; 3m E−W; D 0.7m) faced with rough drystone walling. The entrance or access point appears to have been on the W side. Remnants of a drystone wall (Wth 0.5m; H 0.5m) border the S edge of the well, and at the top outer edge on the E−SE side there is a low sod-covered bank of earth and stone, with a mature ash tree growing out of it. The roots of the tree are probably responsible for the collapse of the well wall on that side.
The well was dry at time of visit, partly filled with displaced stones, and obscured by brambles and a fallen branch.
