St Senan’s Well at Tullaher is associated with St Senan, a 6th-century Irish monk and founder of a monastic settlement on Scattery Island in the Shannon Estuary. The well is traditionally believed to have healing properties, particularly for skin ailments and general well-being, and may have been a site of pilgrimage and seasonal rituals.
