Linked to St. Einné, an early Irish saint associated with several sites in the west of Ireland, the monument at Cill Éinne may have once been a holy well or pilgrimage site connected to local healing traditions. The name "Cill Éinne" (Church of Einné) suggests a historical ecclesiastical or monastic foundation, possibly with associated folklore of miraculous cures or protective rituals.
