  1. It is in the forest in Lissadel. There is a wall forming a circle around it & in it there is an opening by which one can get beside the well. Inside there is an altar, on which fresh flowers are put, & candles are lighted. On the outside of the wall square holes with pictures of the Stations are placed.
    Every year from 15th August to 8th September Rounds are performed. The water is also drunk. People visiting there leave a piece of cloth on a bush.
