What is recorded here

Toberreendoney is a holy well in Gortdromagownagh, County Kerry, where visitors have walked three rosary rounds and left cloth strips on surrounding trees for generations. The small sunken pool appears on maps from 1841 to 1939, and local tradition holds that it cures eye ailments or any disease. A cautionary story says the well belonged to the Woulfe family until a woman washed clothes in it, whereupon it relocated itself and brought ill luck upon them.
