St. Mary's Well is a little bit hidden behind the Town Hall. But it exists since 1302. Since this time it is a place of pilgrimage.

The wellhouse was built in 1850, according to the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage, the roof being added later in the twentieth century.

Holy Well dating back to 1302

Since 1302, this well has been associated with cures for a variety of ailments. Long ago, it was a popular pilgrimage site, with believers often travelling long distances to visit. The well was particularly popular for baptisms. Originally part of an ancient religious complex where St Mary's Church of Ireland now stands, Main Street now separates the two areas. Modern health and safety concerns have forced Killarney Town Council to close off the well entrance, although visitors can still look through the gate to the water below. With its well-preserved, small entrance, it still has a charming appeal. Call ahead for opening times.(Source: cityseeker.com/killarney/167368-st-mary-s-well)
