In rough marshy pasture. A low semicircular earth and stone bank (Wth 1.6m; H 0.5m) encloses a shallow pool of water (diam. 2m; D 0.3m). A concrete pump-house is immediately adjacent. Named 'Toberstarling' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A court tomb (SL034-099----) lies c. 50m to N and 'Tobernagalliagh' (SL034-100002-) c. 100m to S. According to Wood-Martin (1892, 355-6, n. 1), this well was 'formerly held in estimation as "holy"'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
