 St. Brigid's Well is still a popular place of pilgrimage where healing liturgies are often held.
Located at the end of a narrow country lane and not blessed with too many parking spaces, today St. Brigid's Well is a miniature park where an enclosed spring feeds a short underground stream, this in turn bursting through a gateway of stone and then winding past a bronze statue of the saint bearing a crosier, wearing a cross, and holding a flame.
A visitor is encouraged to say prayers at the stations -- stones marking the underground stream.
