Struell Wells was built around a stream flowing through a secluded valley. It was a popular place of pilgrimage from the 1600s until the 1840s. The waters were believed to have curative powers and the site has a ruined church, two bath-houses (one for men, one for women) and two roofed wells, all fed by the stream.
The wells date from before the time of Saint Patrick, and even today are used for people seeking cures. On Mid-Summer Eve (St John's Eve) and the Friday before Lammas, hundreds of pilgrims used to visit Struell. The earliest written reference to the wells is in 1306, but none of the surviving buildings is earlier than about 1600.

This Neolithic monument has a capstone which is 13 ft long and 10 ft wide, with an estimated weight of 50 tons and standing 14 ft high overall. The capstone has shifted sideways on its supporting uprights, possibly due to the collapse of the backstone, and now overhangs the chamber on its north side. The unsegmented burial chamber is 9 feet long with an entrance on the east, flanked by orthostats which could be the remains of a crescent shaped facade. Its largest stone is the enormous capstone which has fallen sideways, revealing the megalithic chamber it once covered, in which a cremation urn and a flint arrowhead were found in 1834. Stones standing independently at the eastern side of the monument suggest that it may once have had a forecourt facade like a court-tomb.
The dolmen has had a variety of names in the past, among them Finn's Finger (after the legendary giant Finn MacCool, presumably because of the tall slender upright stone at the front of the chamber; while to some it is known as Pat Kearney's Big Stone, named after the occupier of an adjacent cottage who for many years assumed the unofficial role of custodian of the monument.
