- (continued from previous page)there and in about a month a well began to spring up. The people knew then that there as something mysterious about it. They tried to boil the water but could not. Someone in Cappagh interfered with the bird for no reason and the bird cursed him and he had no luck from that out. From that out a great crowd of people used gather at the well on the last Sunday of July. Hurling matches used be played and tents used come from all different places selling fruit and different things. This all died away and at the present time only small gatherings come and no tents arrive.
