There is a white thorn bush over the well. There used to be paterons, held there up to thirty or forty years ago. It was stopped on account of the faction fighting, two families used to go there and fight, the names were Farrels and Gills. They used to beat other savagely. It was said that a man named Farrell, was killed there. People used to make stations there on Garland Sunday. There is another well near kedgue, called Lasser well.
