Cill Éinne is associated with Saint Eine, a 7th-century Irish monk and hermit known for his ascetic practices and reputed healing miracles. The site's holy well and surrounding monuments were traditionally visited for cures related to eye ailments and general well-being, with rituals often involving the collection of water at dawn.
