The National Monuments Service's description
Tobereendoney/Tobar Rí an Domhnaigh: This well no longer survives but it formerly consisted of a small spring which rose from a small hillock in whose face were set 3 stone flags (OSNB Dingle, book 2, 16). Stations were no longer performed by the early 19th century.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 924. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
