- There are four wells around this parish. There is one in Ardmore, two in Clashmore and one in Piltown. There is a well in Ardmore and it is called St. Declan's well. People go there on the 24th July to do their rounds. There is a well out in the mountain and it cured a lot of people that had ring-worm. People can drink the water in these wells and they can bring it home. Some people leave ribbons or some thing after them in St. Declan's Well. There is a well in Ballinaparka and it would cure the whooping-cough.
