St Kierans Well in Rathkerry.
St Mary's well now in O Keeffe's place in Lismulbreeda Darragh is noted for the cure for sore eyes.A little girl named O Connor got her sight there a few years ago.At first this wwell was in Dan O Keeffe's place (now Michael King).Dan O Keeffe did not like the people trampling on his hay going to the well ,so he ordered his servant boy to close it.
On the next morning when he got out of bed the well had disappeared to Pat Keeffe's place .The sign of the well is there still.
