  1. A Holy Well

    Share Share Post
    Saint Fintan's Well is situated about four miles from Raheny on the road approaching The Hill of Howth.
    It is difficult to locate it from the road, being about ten yards in from the path. It is surrounded by bushes and barbed wire. It is believed that the well possesses healing properties.
    Anyone who uses the water places a rag on the wire before leaving.
