Sacred Ireland by Jon Michael Riley Ireland1 | Page 26

Left: Part of the main interior chamber of St. Brigid’s
Well in Liscannor, County Clare. It is filled with tokens,
amulets, personal items and little treasures left by people
who clearly honor the sacred. Being close to the Cliffs of
Moher, this is a popular and much-visited well. Located
in a park-like setting, it has a life-size statue of the Saint,
and Murphy’s Pub next door.
Right: The small interior well house of St. Flannan’s
Well near Inagh, County Clare. One must stoop to enter
the small alcove to access the clear spring water and light
candles lined up over the well.
