Toberreendoney

Ó Danachair (1955, 208) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'Toberreendoney on 1840 map. A small well about two feet by three feet at mouth. Small flagstones projecting from the dry stone walling which lines the well holds cups and other drinking vessels. The well is in a space about twenty feet in diameter, surrounded by an earth bank, three to four feet high and four feet thick at bottom. Rounds are still made. The water cures sore eyes. Rags and religious objects are left as offerings. This well is among the heather on the mountain side, about half a mile from the nearest house'.

Toberreendoney is traditionally associated with Saint Gobnait, a 6th-century Irish saint known for her patronage of beekeeping and healing. The well was likely visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin, and may have been a site of seasonal rituals or pilgrimages.
