What is recorded here

Situated at base of slight W-facing slope in pasture. Named 'Toberabiddeen' on the 1837 and 1913 OS 6-inch maps. The well had been infilled with small stones leaving a level area of rubble (5m N-S; 4m E-W) that is flush with the field surface. An irregular outflow runs from the W side of the rubble area. A possible cairn (SL011-015002-) is associated with the well.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL011-015001
