  1. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    The well of Carrowkillen is called Tobar Gailleas. It is still frequented by pilgrims. These pilgrims make their rounds barefooted. They go three times round the well and each time they put a stone on a rock that is near the well. Flowers are always left near the well.
