Saint Patrick's Wells

Struell Wells was built around a stream flowing through a secluded valley.
It was a popular place of pilgrimage from the 1600s until the 1840s.
The waters were believed to have curative powers and the site has a ruined church, 2 bath-houses (one for men, one for women) and two roofed wells, all fed by the stream.
Legend has it that Saint Patrick used to spend a great part of the night standing in the water singing psalms and spiritual songs. These wells are almost certain to have been the fountain Slan mentioned in Saint Fiacc's hymn of Saint Patrick.
