What is recorded here
Sunday's Well hid inside Caherbreagh, losing its exact coordinates but keeping its holy name. People drank from water that refreshed body and spirit before forgetting the basin itself. That is typical for small sacred places, where memory flows around rocks instead of stopping inside them.
The precise location of the holy well has not been identified. Ó Danachair (1958, 163) recorded that was a; 'well in this townland is said to have been named "Sunday's Well" and to have been regarded as a holy well formerly'.
