What is recorded here
Situated on marshy land. Holy Well (WM012-029---) dedicated to St. Michael 50m to NW. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map and annotated as ‘Toberslauntia’ (well of health). This well (approx. diam. 1.5m) is enclosed by dry-stone wall. The water flows out into a short drain (L 4m) which eventually empties into a stream. There are no known religious associations. Local information suggests that an inscribed dripstone was removed from this well and taken to Multyfarnham Abbey (WM006-058----).

Dedicated to St. Michael, Toberslauntia Well was historically associated with healing and was known as the "well of health." Its long-standing use is evidenced by its depiction on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map, and such wells were often sites of pilgrimage and folk traditions linked to physical and spiritual well-being.
