    St. John's Well is situated about three miles from Nenagh. It is said that St. John's footprints are to be seen on a rock in the middle of the field and whoever kisses the rock on the 24th June will be cured or if you visit the well three times and leave something behind you, you will be cured also.
    St. Conlan's Well is situated about three miles from Nenagh in the parish of Youghalarra. It is said that Saint Conlon blessed it. People go there every year on the 24th July as it is said that the Saint blessed the water on that day.
