There is a very old holy well in Mrs Harty's land of Kilmacahill. There was a big tree standing at the side of the well and a well is built around it. The tree has fallen but the well is standing still. People used to make rounds there in former times and there was a basin on the wall for the people to drink the water out of the well with it.
