- This well is situated in Ballyconnell. From the 15th August to the 8th Sept people visit it to perform a station. They do three "rounds" and say five Pater Ave and Gloria and each time they pick up three pebbles and throw them into the well. A trout has been seen in it. An altar and stations have now been erected beside the well. When people have done the stations they leave flowers, or beads or medals or pieces of rags at the well. In doing so they feel "they are leaving their ailment after them".
