The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the bottom of a slight S-facing slope in a fairly level, low-lying landscape. It is described in gothic lettering as Toberdoney derived from Tober Domhnaigh - Sunday's Well or Church Well - on the 1836 and 1912 editions of the OS 6-inch maps, although it had ceased to be regarded as a holy well by the 1830s (OS Name Books). it is not visible at ground level in pasture.
