There are a few trees growing around it and seven small stones like seven little head stones. People recite the Rosary on these stones and there is a cross cut out on each one of them St Johns day is the day on which the rounds are performed Long ago it was a very popular well Crowds used to visit it. The custom is now dying out and you would only see a few people go to visit it There is a niche on each side of wall around the well on the inside like a little window in which are little Statues of the Blessed Virgin There is a cup to drink the water and when you are leaving the well you should leave something after you such as a ribbon or a button There is a small well out from the big well in which people wash or any place which would be affected with any sore or ache And sompeople carry a bottle of water home with them which is supposed to have ailment
