   There was once a holy well near Mallow Station, and people used to do rounds and say prayers and people were supposed to get cured there. Once when people were saying prayers there a soldier who was riding a horse saw them praying and he laughed at them and suddenly his horse fell and he was killed. I do not know if the well is there now or not.
