What is recorded here

Sunday Well in County Limerick is a strong spring once visited on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings to cure diseases, now hidden inside a village pump house. Its plaque still reads Tobar Ri an Domnaig, marking the junction where two roads meet and where clean water once gave life before becoming ordinary utility. The well did not disappear; it changed jobs, moving from ritual healing to daily drinking while keeping its name on the wall.

On E side of lower road leading into Ballingarry, at junction where two roads meet. Well now part of waterworks for village and covered by a small pump house. Plaque, with inscription "Tobar Ri an Domnaig", on wall of building facing road. According to Ó Danachair (1955, 204) this was a strong spring visited formerly on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings and said to cure many diseases.

Linked to Saint Domnang, an early Irish Christian saint, the well is traditionally associated with healing and was likely a site of pilgrimage. The name "Tobar Ri an Domnaig" translates to "Well of the King of Domnang," reflecting its sacred and possibly royal connections in local tradition.
