St. Naile's Well is a late medieval ecclesiastical site in Kinawley, County Fermanagh, comprising a parish church, graveyard, and holy well dedicated to Saint Naile. The site represents a significant example of post-Reformation Irish religious settlement, with the church structure and associated burial ground indicating sustained ecclesiastical use through the medieval period. The holy well remains a feature of local religious observance and popular devotion, consistent with the pattern of sacred sites that continued to serve communities beyond the formal establishment of the medieval parish system. The monument's survival as both a physical structure and living place of pilgrimage reflects the enduring attachment to pre-Reformation sacred topography in the Fermanagh landscape.
