What is recorded here

Tobereendoney, meaning Well of the King of Sunday, vanished before the nineteenth century but once gave clean water from a small hillock marked by three stone flags. People likely knelt at that spring to ask Sunday itself for mercy, strength or love. The stones are gone now, yet the name still points to a small place where ordinary time bent upward.

Tobereendoney/Tobar Rí an Domhnaigh: This well no longer survives but it formerly consisted of a small spring which rose from a small hillock in whose face were set 3 stone flags (OSNB Dingle, book 2, 16). Stations were no longer performed by the early 19th century. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 924. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

Tobereendoney (Tobar Rí an Domhnaigh) was associated with St. Dominic and was a site of pilgrimage with three stone flags marking stations, likely for prayer or ritual. The well, now lost, was situated on a hillock and may have been linked to healing traditions connected to the saint.
