Tobar an Domhnaich is the name supplied to a well whose water apparently had medicinal properties and, according to Martin, writing in the late 17th-century, was 'by the natives drunk as a catholicon for diseases'. The well is said by Campbell to be situated at Balemeanoch (Middleton), and the sites of at least two natural springs, at NL 943 428 and NL 953 437, are still known locally by this name. There are no identifiable structural remains.
Visited by RCAHMS June 1974.
