St. Peters & St. Pauls Well

Ó Danachair (1955, 206-7) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'St Peter and St Paul's Well on 1840 map. A clear spring covered by a small stone structure. No rounds or devotions now, but rounds were made and rags hung on an old thorn tree beside the well within living memory. The thorn tree is now gone. Legend: The well moved when clothes were washed in'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 03 July 2019

St. Peter and St. Paul's Well is associated with the early Christian saints Peter and Paul, who are widely venerated in Ireland for their roles in spreading Christianity. The well was once a site of devotional rounds, a common practice at holy wells to seek spiritual or physical healing, though such rituals are no longer observed there.
