What is recorded here
Located at the bottom of a slight S-facing slope in a fairly level, low-lying landscape. It is described in gothic lettering as Toberdoney derived from Tober Domhnaigh - Sunday's Well or Church Well - on the 1836 and 1912 editions of the OS 6-inch maps, although it had ceased to be regarded as a holy well by the 1830s (OS Name Books). it is not visible at ground level in pasture.

Linked to Saint Domnach (Sunday), the well is traditionally associated with healing and purification, with pilgrims visiting to collect water for physical and spiritual ailments. The name Tober Domhnaigh reflects its historical connection to a nearby church or Sunday assembly, common in early Christian Ireland.
