Ordnance Survey maps from 1897 and again in the Cassini edition of 1920 label it the 'Source of the Seven Streams', and the name holds up: roughly 650 metres downslope to the south-west, a single stream fans out into what the same mapping calls 'The Seven Streams of Teeskagh', accompanied by recorded waterfalls along the way. A spring that divides itself into seven is the kind of thing that tends to attract names, and stories, long before cartographers arrive.

The pool itself is small, and the water drains away to the west. What makes it worth looking at closely is the bedrock visible at its base, which carries brown veins thought to result from natural iron deposits in the rock. The site sits within an extensive field system of multiple periods, meaning the landscape around it has been shaped and reshaped by human activity across many centuries, though the spring itself predates any of that marking. Around the water's edge, the plant life is quietly telling: ragged robin, forget-me-not, white orchid, meadow sweet, and bloody cranesbill all grow here, a community of moisture-loving wildflowers that would have been familiar to anyone who used this place in any era.
