- There are not many blessed wells in Ennistymon. The principal wells are St. Brigid's, St. Joseph's and St. Craoibin's wells. St. Brigid's well is situated about three miles outside Ennistymon. There are special days doing the rounds at St Brigid's well. The days are the first February and the last Saturday of July. There is an eel in St. Brigid's well and any person that sees the eel will be cured from their decease. There was a big statue of St. Brigid at the well but it is now broken. It was presented by Mrs. Healy Ennistymon.
