    (continued from previous page)
    Saint lived lived there long ago and he was beheaded, his head hopped three times and each places it touched the ground a holy well sprang up. A man was making the Mill river nearby, he let two of the wells in to the river and the water flowed but it did not mix with the water of the river. The priest forbade him to do it and he died that night There are ruins of a convent near the well and there is also a stone and the print of St Camon's heel can be seen on this stone. Black Mills
