  1. A Holy Well

    Share Share Post
    There is an old well near Shrule. It is called "Tobar Ciaráin" and the village is called "Tobar Ciaráin" too. There are big bushes hanging over the well. They say that it is not right to cut the bushes. This well is named after the saint called "Naomh Ciaráin". This well was blessed once by a priest.
