    Holy Well.
    There is a holy well down at Matthew Morrows ground.
    It is in a big rock and it is very narrow.
    Matthew tried to fill it in but next morning it was cleared again. There is another well on Patrick Dunleavy’s ground.
    Some people say that it is Saint Brigads well. The people make a Turas to the well up in Derrylaconell.
