    out again nothing remains in the well but a little drop of fresh water and there is no spring in the well. He also told me that if any one had a sore head and went to the well and drank a little drop of the water the sore head would go away.
    I also heard that there is a well somewhere below Smiths of Killy Garvan. I also heard that if anyone was leaving his home and went to that well and washed his hands in it he would not be sorry when leaving his own home.
