  1. Barrigone Well

    Share Share Post
    Barrigone Well is a holy well. It was removed, because a woman washed clothes in it. It is said that nobody should wash clothes in a holy well. The well was about a half mile away from where it is now. On the 15th of August people visit the holy well and pay rounds.
