St. Abigail, her name in Irish is Gobnait, was an abbess in sixth century Ireland, little is know about her, and the martyrology lists no miracles, however in 1601 Pope Clement VIII granted a special indulgence to those who, on Gobnait's day, visited the parish church, went to Confession and Communion and who prayed for peace among 'Christian princes', expulsion of heresy and the exaltation of the church.

from Saints and Angels:

Irish abbess and disciple of St. Abban. When St. Abban founded a convent in Ballyvourney, County Cork, Ireland, Gobnata was placed in charge. A well there bears her name.
