    (continued from previous page)
    The owner of the farm (Mr. Meaney) in which the well is situated built a room of his dwelling-house on the passage leading to the well and the roof was blown off every time it was put on. Noises were heard in the room and it became uninhabited. Cattle were then put in there but they all died. The roofless house is still to be seen. The present occupier (a son of the former owner) would not use as firewood any fallen branches from around the well. This well and disused graveyard are shown on the Ordnance Map Cork Sheet 39
