St. Kierans Wells

The
Ogham Stone (Left), can be found in the old graveyard at Castlekieran. Sammy (Right), is using one the water ways at the Wells which traditionally cures foot ailments.

This is the Main Well at the site, which is a major healing shrine adopted by the local Catholic Church. Like most Wells in Northern Europe a 'Fairy Tree' is also present, which the locals leave ribbons, cloth and peices of clothing tied too after 'praying' for healing (see Below).
