    Holy Wells
    There is a holy well in Ballycannon
    called Saint Sennan's well. Rounds
    used to be done there long ago, and
    scapulars, medals and pictures were
    left there by those doing the
    rounds. Rounds are not done there
    now. It is said that the well
    moved from one side of the road
    to the other because the man on
    whose land it was cut down a
    tree that grew beside the well.
    Saint John the Baptist's well
    is on the border of the parish, and
    rounds are still done there on
    Saint John's Eve. Sore eyes are
    often cured there.
