St Brigid's Well

The stone grotto structure contains a natural spring that flows through an archway, leading to an ancient cemetery situated on the hilltop above.

Archaeological studies indicate the site has maintained religious significance since pre-Christian times, with later incorporation into Catholic traditions during the 5th century.

Visitors follow the tradition of tying cloth strips to nearby trees and leaving personal items such as rosaries, photographs, and religious medals at the site.

The well remains open throughout the day and night, allowing visitors to access the location via marked paths through fields where local sheep frequently graze.

The cemetery near the well contains burial sites of multiple Irish clan leaders, with steep stone stairs connecting the grotto to the historic grounds.
