  2. St Brigid's Well at Lismulbreeda

    “St Brigid's Well at Lismeallbreda is in a field and is overshadowed by a big tree.”

    St Bridgid's Well at Lismeallbreda is in a field and is overshadowed by a big tree. At this Well some eyes are cured from time to time. After visiting it three times and washing her eyes with the water, a girl from Kilrush was cured of sore eyes. Long ago people did "rounds" there, but this custom has died out now. One time the Well was disused and it dried up but it again appeared, a little distance away from where it was first.
    There is a statue of St Brigid placed on an altar beside the Well. On this altar pilgrims leave blessed pictures, crucifixes and medals after them.
