What is recorded here

Toberreendowney, the little well of the church, sleeps on a drumlin slope beside the Fane River in County Monaghan. It vanished from later maps despite living in local memory, suggesting human hands once tended water now forgotten. The disused railway embankment nearby marks how progress passed the site without stopping to ask what it had replaced.

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.
