- There are a few blessed wells in this locality. There is one in Ballyheena called St. Mochua's Well. There is an eel in it and it is said that if anyone would catch him and try to boil him the water would not boil. There was a pattern there long ago and every one had great faith in it. There is another blessed well in Ardmore called St. Declan's Well. There is a pattern there on the 24th of July every year. When the people go there they drink three sups of water out of the well in Ballingown called Seána Máire. There is a great cure in it from ringworm.
