My grandmother - Caith Ní Dhomhnaill is now (1938) about 95 years of age. I heard her often say that when she was about 10 years of age, her father took her to travel Tobhar Chartha station at Kilcar as she had some kind of a lump on her face. She is certain to this day that she saw the image of the Virgin and Child in the well - nearer the bottom than the surface. No one else could see it, no matter how they looked. She had to be pulled away from the well at last.N.B. Since above was written I learned the true version from Mrs C. Ward of Carrick who is a daughter of above Caith ní Dhomhnaill. It was she - Mrs Ward who, as a child was taken to well and her mother saw the image, which she (Caith ní Dhomhnaill) says would remain since if she visited. Anyhow the lump was cured.- You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
