Described in gothic script as Tobermogue on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and located on a NE-facing slope with a small NW-SE stream c. 130m to the NE. This is a natural spring named after St. Maodhóg of Ferns, with no evidence of, or record of, veneration. A church (WX027-021001-) and graveyard (WX027-021002-) and Toberrevagh well (WX027-022----) are c. 130m to the ESE.

Linked to St. Maodhóg of Fe, the well is associated with traditional Celtic Christian devotion and may have been a site of pilgrimage or prayer. Local tradition sometimes connects such wells with healing properties or protective blessings, though specific cures or rituals for Tobermogue are not widely recorded.
