We found this well when visiting Ireland and exploring the County Clare countryside. Each town or village seems to have its own well where holy water is collected to be used for blessing the home and family. The wells are dedicated to saints and often have a history associated with it. Some are at the roadside, others like this one, are in churchyards or graveyards.
The URL included here is a Google book excerpt describing the well and parish area. The Doonbeg and Doonmore castles mentioned are at the shore if you look at a map of this area.
Parking can be found very nearby.
