St. Senan, a 6th-century Irish saint, is traditionally associated with several holy wells across the country, often linked to healing and pilgrimage. The well at Killonahan, though now dried up, was once visited for its perceived spiritual or curative properties, as was common with many holy wells in Ireland.
