On the 1841-42 OS map this well was placed 200 yards N of its true position; however, this was corrected on the 1915 map. It is marked as 'Toberreendoney' (Tobar Rí an Domhnaigh - well of the king of Sunday). Situation and Description: This is a shallow pool which has three steps leading to it. On the northern side there are three steps leading to the grotto. The grotto, well and steps are surrounded by a path and beside the well lies a whitethorn tree. Rounds/Offerings: Still visited, rags and small religious objects are left as offerings. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 897. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
