HOLY WELL: ST NINIAN'S WELL in Knockninny — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

St Ninian's Well in Knockninny, County Fermanagh, remains an uncertain but named holy water place. The official record gives no date, yet the well still belongs to Ninian and to the living memory of the area. People may have drunk from it, washed wounds or left small gifts beside the water. The uncertainty does not weaken the well; it keeps the well open to imagination and local faith.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: ST NINIAN'S WELL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Linked to St Ninian, an early 5th-century Christian missionary to the Picts, the well is traditionally associated with healing and pilgrimage, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin. St Ninian is venerated in parts of Scotland and northern England, and his holy wells often feature in local folklore as sites of divine intervention and miraculous cures.
