    field in Garryduff, but we have no definite account about it. It is in a marshy spot in a field beside the main road. This well is beautifully paved with stones on the interior, and is about six feet in depth. The warmest day in Summer the water in this well is a cold as ice. In former days people bore large quantities of the water away and it was used for the cure of sore eyes.
