In rough marshy pasture. A low semicircular earth and stone bank (Wth 1.6m; H 0.5m) encloses a shallow pool of water (diam. 2m; D 0.3m). A concrete pump-house is immediately adjacent. Named 'Toberstarling' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A court tomb (SL034-099----) lies c. 50m to N and 'Tobernagalliagh' (SL034-100002-) c. 100m to S. According to Wood-Martin (1892, 355-6, n. 1), this well was 'formerly held in estimation as "holy"'.
