Wells of County Louth

St Brigid's Well

St Brigid's (Bridget's) Well is located in the old graveyard adjacent to a ruined late Mediaeval church at Faughart Upper, purportedly the birthplace of Saint Brigid.

Its pattern day is on the feast of St Brigid.

Rags are tied to an adjacent tree (really a cherry laurel bush).

There is a cup for people to drink the water.

Toberona Tobar Eoin

Tonberona Tobar Eoin

The patron saint of this well is Eoin.  It is also in Dundalk.

There is a little building on the site with an inscription in Irish. It is very overgrown. It is quite close to the lowest High-Tide fording point on the major river that divides this area. The old main road from Tara to Ulster ran past it and involved fording the river. There is an 18th and 19th century bridge a short distance upstream.
