What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of the SE-facing slope of a NW-SE drumlin ridge and c. 65m W of a N-S section of the Fane River. A N-S section of disused railway embankment is just to the E. It is marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Toberreendowney’ - the little well of the church. The name is also known in the folk tradition (IFC: Schools MSS (931) 375: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes ), but there is no other record of it.
