What is recorded here

Sunday wells appear across Ireland, named for the day rather than the saint, as if domestic rhythm had overwritten holy history. That much is certain. Whether this is one of them, or a well that simply kept a Sunday name long after its origin faded, is no longer certain. The loss of identity is the interesting part. A sacred place became ordinary, then anonymous, then remembered only through a day of the week.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: SUNDAY WELL; TIOBHAR DIA DOMNA (unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Linked to Saint Diona or Dia, the well is traditionally associated with healing and may have been a site of pilgrimage. The name "Tiochar Dia Domna" suggests a connection to a holy figure, possibly a local saint venerated in early Christian times.
