- (continued from previous page)state that there was a Holy Well in the O'Brennan district called St. Brendans.
- Faill Dearg (Red Cliff) well is in Nohoval in Richard Burkes land. Seaghan Taidhg Óig Linehan (1845 - 1910) saw rounds made there. So he told Tom Flynn's (born 1891) of "Baile Breathnach" - 20 years ago. These rounds were made before 1860. There is fine water in it second only to Curraheen (Tralee's water supply) in an Analysis test. Tom Flynn father (Maurice) say "Seán" never told him the well was Holy. He would have told him if it were. Tom Flynn is not sure whether "Seán" heard of or saw rounds made at the well. Thomas Burke (born 1883) who lives near, often heard of sick people sending for the water of the well as a cure.
