Church of the Four Beautiful Ones
“St Fursey, Brendan of Birr, Conal and Bearchan are the 4 saints in question
The Church is 11-12C with modifications but their graves (and a 5th) are said to lie just outside the church behind the altar. There is also a Holy Well to which healings are attributed.”

The adjacent Well of the four beauties was the inspiration for Synge’s Well of the Saints -

[gruffly.] — That’s the truth, Martin Doul, and you may believe it now, for you’re after believing a power of things weren’t as likely at all. ... ...
