Toberabiddeen, as it has been named on Ordnance Survey maps since at least 1837, no longer presents itself as a well in any recognisable sense. At some point it was infilled with small stones, leaving a flat spread of rubble, roughly five metres north to south and four metres east to west, sitting level with the surrounding field surface. The only outward sign that something lies beneath is an irregular outflow that seeps from the western edge of the rubble, tracing a faint line across the pasture.

Holy wells, traditionally associated with local saints or pre-Christian veneration of water sources, were once focal points for communal ritual across Ireland, places of pilgrimage, patterns, and cure-seeking. Many survive in some form, ringed with stonework or marked with offerings. Toberabiddeen has fared differently. The name itself carries traces of meaning, likely derived from the Irish tobar, meaning well, though the second element remains less clear. What is notable is that the site appears on both the 1837 and 1913 six-inch Ordnance Survey maps under the same name, suggesting it held enough local significance to be recorded across nearly a century of mapping, even as its physical form was gradually being erased. Associated with the well is a possible cairn nearby, a type of stone mound that in Irish contexts can indicate prehistoric burial or ritual activity, hinting that this corner of Sligo may have drawn human attention across a long span of time.
