Struell Wells

The wells at Struell date back to before the time of Saint Patrick, the water from the Wells were believed to have healing powers and are still used today by people seeking cures.  The Drinking Well or Mother Well is beehive-shaped, the Eye Well in rectangular with a pyramidal corbelled roof and there are two bathing wells (one for woman and the other for men).

This site is traditionally associated with Saint Patrick, who is supposed to have come from nearby Saul to bathe in the waters, legend also says that Saint Patrick would spend a great part of the night standing in the water singing psalms and spiritual songs.

From medieval times Struell Wells became a pilgrimage site with vast numbers frequenting the area however numbers have declined over the last number of years.
