According to local information, there was formerly a holy well along the stretch of the N-S running road to the NW of the small islet in the bay to the W of Sruthán Pier. It was located in the vicinity of the steps leading from the road to a grassy verge on the foreshore but it was closed in during road-building operations in the early 20th century. The name of the well or its association with any particular saint were not recalled. The small islet is known as ‘An tOileáinín Beannaithe’ or 'The Saint's Bed'.
