- The Holy Well is a little up the Glen at Glenbrook, Passage. It is frequently used by people for spring water. There is a tree growing overhead of the well and it is said that old rags, old clothes and old handkerchiefs used to be hung up on the tree. People used to make rounds there frequently but none are made now.
Once a miracle happened at the Holy Well.
A boy of the Harrington family was blind since his birth. His mother made rounds for him at the well and he was cured because of these rounds.
