Linked to St. Sunday (Seandán), a lesser-known early Irish saint, the well was traditionally associated with healing and was likely visited on Sundays for ritual washing or drinking. Though now filled in, such wells were often sites of local pilgrimage and were believed to have curative properties, particularly for skin ailments or general ill health.
