The name given there is Tobernagloria, an Anglicisation of the Irish Tobar na Glóire, meaning the Well of Glory. That name alone marks it out. Most holy wells in Ireland carry the name of a saint, a local family, or a nearby townland. A well named for glory, in the abstract, is a rarer thing, and suggests a particular reverence, or perhaps a very old local tradition, whose precise origins have since become difficult to trace.

The first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, surveyed in Ireland during the 1830s, were notable for their systematic effort to record place names, including those attached to wells, raths, and other features of the Irish landscape that might otherwise have gone unregistered. Surveyors consulted local inhabitants and recorded names phonetically in the field, which means the annotation Tobernagloria reflects how the name sounded to a nineteenth-century ear, and how the community around Corelish West spoke of the well at that time. Holy wells, as a category of site, are ancient features of the Irish religious landscape, often pre-dating Christianity and later absorbed into Christian practice, associated with patterns, or seasonal gatherings, and sometimes with cures attributed to the water. Whether Tobernagloria retained any active pattern day into the period of the survey is not recorded in the surviving notes.

Corelish West is a small rural townland, and the well is not signposted or formally managed as a heritage site. Anyone seeking it would do well to consult the first edition OS six-inch map, which is freely available through the digitised historical mapping resources held by Trinity College Dublin and the OSi. The map annotation gives a reasonable indication of where within the townland the well was located, though features of this kind can shift in their visibility across seasons, sometimes appearing as little more than a damp hollow in a field margin when vegetation is thick, and more legible in late autumn or winter when growth has died back. If the well retains any traditional stone surround or votive objects, these would be the clearest markers on the ground.
