  2. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    The only holy well so far as I know of in this parish is in the townland of Tournant about one mile south of Dunlavin. The people around Dunlavin visit the well on the Sunday before the 29th June and the Sunday after it. People were cured of diseases that they petitioned for their cure. Mr. Fisher owns the land in which the well is situated.
    It is called St. Nicholas' well
