St Brigid's Well, near the penitential station in Greaghnafarna, is traditionally associated with St Brigid of Kildare and is renowned for its curative properties, particularly in the treatment of toothache. Pilgrimage and penitential practices at such sites often involved prayer, fasting, and the immersion of coins or clooties as offerings.
