Now a fenced off oval pond (diams. 4m N-S; 2m E-W; D 0.8m) in a roadside garden, with some stone lining visible at the S-end.

Linked to Saint Caocha, Toberchocha is associated with healing traditions, particularly for skin ailments and general wellness. The well’s name and historical references suggest it was once a site of pilgrimage and ritual cleansing, though its practices have largely faded into local memory.
