  1. St Nicholas' Well

    Share Share Post
    St Nicholas well is situated in the parish of Colmullen about a quarter of a mil from the present catholic church. It is on the side of a lane leading to the old church of Colmullen. Of this church nothing now remains but the outline of the walls. The water from the well is used now for ordinary domestic purposes but it is believed to be excellent for curing headaches. For this purpose the water is drunk. There is no proof of a pilgrimage to the well at any time.
