    In the Townland of Battlefield there is a large cairn of stones circular in shape & apparently built like a pinnacle but owing to the weather & other elements it has reduced. To one side of this cairn there is a little font in the shape of a cup with a slit at one side. This font according to the locals is never dry & many cures have taken place.
    Two wells known J Connor Keash Ballymote. Mrs. Gara Battlefield Culfodda not far from here on the road to the cairn.
    There is another font & right opposite on a hill overlooking the place & hid almost in the rushes there is still an other. These are never interfered with
