What is recorded here

Toberdoney, also called Sunday Well, stands in Audleystown, County Down. The name Toberdoney suggests a holy water source tied to local faith and memory. People may have visited the well on Sundays for drinking water, cleansing or quiet prayer. The well still belongs to the town, even when the street is busy or forgotten.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: TOBERDONEY, SUNDAY WELL. 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 Doney, the well was traditionally visited on Sundays for healing and spiritual renewal. Local folklore suggests that the water was particularly efficacious for curing eye ailments and ensuring safe childbirth.
