    Holy Wells
    There are not many holly wells in our district. There are a holy well over at Warden shore a beautiful round well about the breadth of a wee tub it is as round as a wheel and it is about a foot and a half deep. There are some inscriptions written on the bottom of the well about himself. It was St. Columcille that found it and blessed it and wrote the inscriptions on it. Some person found it later on and saw all. It is still there and it is full up of water.
