  1. There is a well in Ardmore and there is a cure in it for a pain in your back. It is said if you had warts and rubbed a snail to them and then put the snail on a bush, as the snail would die away the warts would die away. There is a well out in the mountain and there is a cure in it for ring-worm. There is a well in the parish of Aglish and there is a cure in for headaches and toothaches and Brother Benigness put a statue there in honour of St. Declan. It is said if you caught a lizzard by the tail and by the neck and rubbed him to your tongue it would have a cure from a burn.
