    in the well, and the old people in those days said that the fish were St Cuan and Brogan.
    Once an old tree that grew over the well, fell with age and the same Wilson tried to draw it away with a pair of horses but the horses refused to pull it. It is also said that the tree was so decayed two men could carry it. The bark or the leaves of the tree cure a headache, and the people to this day take the young children and bathe them in the stream that flows from the well.
    There is another holy well near the village of Mothel by the side of the stream that runs by the village. It is said that St. Cuan said Mass by the side of the well. There are no rounds or pattern in connection with this well.
