WELL OF THE SEVEN DAUGHTERS

The Well of the Seven Daughters in Renvyle is dedicated to the Seven Sisters of Renvyle who were said to be the daughters of a King of Leinster, or a chief of Omey Island.

The well is situated 100 metres north of the medieval church at Renvyle Point, Teampaill na Seacht nInion. The church is said to have been built in thanks by a king for the cures his seven daughters received from the waters of the well.

It has been suggested that there was a cursing stone by the well until the parish priest took it away and buried it to much dissatisfaction by the local people.
