Little gem in the heart of Clondalkin Village
This gorgeous holy well at Clondalkin is still highly venerated and well kept by the local community. Sadly it is now dry as during road widening in the 1990s the water flow was diverted. The well may also be moved in the future because of the new metro line. It is believed to have been established by St Brigid in the 5th century to baptize pagans. It is said that the water has curative powers and if a young girl dips a rag in the water and wipes her face with the rag it will cure any eye ailments. She should then tie the rag or clootie to the tree.
