    Share Share Post
    There is only one holy well in the district.
    It is situated in the townland of Tullaghan and in Mr Gillaghan's field.
    People still visit this holy well.
    Rounds are made and prayers are said on Garland Sunday.
    People have been cured at this well.
    Invalid's and other people drink the well water and rub it to the effected part.
    There is no fish in the well and no bush or tree is growing near it.
