    There is a beautiful well in Hilltown County Meath. There is a statue of the Blessed Virgin standing life size in the rocks. The water in the well cures a headache. There is a well in Gerrads-town, it is in Sherwin;s Fielrd, It is Saint Kenny's Well. It was blessed by Saint Kenny. It never goes dry in Summer. The people round about get water out of it.
