What is recorded here
Situated on the bend of a stream, in low-lying, flat pasture, immediately W of parish boundary between Kilcumreragh and Killare. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a small circular spring, annotated 'Toberfely'. Monument described as a small, unenclosed, surface spring which is grass covered with no special characteristics to distinguish it as a blessed well. This site no longer seems to be revered as a holy well. According to local folklore there was only one holy well in the townland of Coolatoor known as Toberavill (WM031-014002-) (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0733, Page 177).
