What is recorded here

Tober Doney stands in Creenagh, County Antrim, a holy well hidden from most modern eyes but remembered by local hands. People may have drawn water there for healing or ritual before written records appeared, trusting the pressure of the earth rather than printed proof. The name itself preserves that old certainty, passing from mouth to mouth when formal knowledge faded.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: TOBER DONEY, TUBBER DONEY. 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 (Dáithí), an early Irish saint associated with healing and local monastic traditions; the well was historically visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for eye ailments and general wellness. The name "Tober Doney" reflects the Irish "Tobar Dáithí," indicating a long-standing devotional practice connected to the saint.
