    There is a holy well in Tullindaly called Tobar na Gceann People got here in August for a cure for a headache. They say that Saint Patrick knelt on hsi way to Kilbbannon and left the track of his hand also on a stone near the well.
    There is another well in Belclare for the purpose of curing toothache once a year.
