    It is called the fairies well. It is by the side of a fort.
    One night James Ryan was passing it and he had a hound. A man jumped out of the well and ran towards the fort. The hound followed him but hound never came back. When James went to look for him he saw the man going into the hole and the hound after him. The hound was never found.
