Ó Danachair (1955, 213) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'Toberreendoney on 1840 map. A circular stone-lined well, on the roadside. Over it is a small statue of Our Lady in a small wooden niche, and a rough wooden cross. Devotions are still made, but not as often as formerly. The water cures sore eyes. Usually said to be dedicated to Our Lady. Legends: A trout is seen in well by those cured of eye ailments. A black dog appeared here, hence the local name "The Black Dog'.
