Meath there is a small well which was blessed by St. Tynan many years ago. Hence the name Tobar-Tynan. The Saint was on his way to Clonard one very warm Summer day. He was very thirsty and suffered from a pain in his head. Meeting the little well unexpectedly, he blessed it and drank some of the water. The pain in his head ceased and he felt refreshed.
