What is recorded here

Located on a S facing hillock with good views. A well called Tubberdoany in Monaghan parish and its attendant rag-tree was resorted to for cures according to a manuscript of c. 1815 quoted by John O’Donovan (Herity 2012, 175), and the well is also mentioned by Coote (1801, 181). 'Tober Domhnaig' at Sheetrim is also known in the folk record (IFC Schools’ MSS: (958) 43-4: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes ). The location is known locally and is said to have been closed in the 1800's. The remaining bushes and stones associated with it were removed in the mid 1990's. Date of revision: 23 February 2013
