- Holy WellsThere are two wells near here, one is near Eglish and the other near Cloncoragh.The one at Eglish is beside the road it has a stone like a tombstone over it.
There is writing on it in Latin. There are steps down to it.Long ago a woman tried to wash clothes in it and it dried up. It is called "St. Simons Well". There is also a bush beside it.There is a well in Sopwell which got it's name from two nuns who were passing. They sopped their bread in this well. Hence the name "Sopwell".
