Toberreendoney

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Overgrown depression contains stagnant water; some outflow to E. Windele (1898, 63) in 1849 described the well as 'a beautiful limpid fountain, open and uncovered, save by three large old whitethorns one of which was thickly endowed with votive rags. It is called Sunday's Well and rounds are performed at it every Sunday morning'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

Toberreendoney is associated with Saint Corrin, a lesser-known early Irish saint linked to several holy wells in Munster. The well was historically visited for its supposed healing properties, particularly for eye ailments, and was marked by three large stones, possibly representing a rudimentary altar or enclosure.
