  1. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There is a holy well in the townland
    of Coolagh in the parish of Clonfert
    in the Co. of Cork. This well is called
    the Trinity well.
    There were three wells, one in Cullen
    another in Dromtariffe, and one in
    Coolagh. One night a road was placed
    from one well to the other, this road is
    called, "the road of the angels." This
    is why the Trinity well got its name.
    Trinity well is visited on Trinity Sunday
    and on two preceeding Sunday. Five rounds
    are paid each time, a decade of the
    rosary is said while walking round
    the well, this is known as one round.
    The water cures sore eyes. A bush
    is growing beside the well, people tie
    a rag on the tree as a token of
    leaving their sorrow behind them
