The holy tree or bush at Portrunny is associated with St Diamraid's Well, a nearby site linked to the early Christian saint Diamraid, known for his ascetic traditions in the midlands of Ireland. The rag-tree, a common feature of such sites, reflects a tradition of votive offerings for healing and protection, blending Christian and pre-Christian practices.
