  1. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There are two wells in my district. One of them is in Aughavale and the other is in Kilgeever. St Keiver’s [?] well is the name of the one in Kilgeever and St. Patrick’s well is the name of the one in Aughavale. From the first of August to the first of September crowds of people used go the the well in Kilgeever. They used come from Ballinrobe and Partry across the mountains and across this village to the well.
