At the W edge of a small S-N stream. A circular stone-lined area (int. diam. 1.4m; D 0.9m) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 0.3m; ext. H 0.4m). A mature sycamore 2m to the W has votive offerings and may have formed part of rounds at this well. A children's burial ground (CL026-020001-) is c. 50m to the SW.

Linked to Saint Breeda, Toberbreeda is traditionally associated with cures for eye ailments and general healing. The presence of votive offerings under the sycamore suggests ongoing local reverence and continuity of pilgrimage practices.
