  1. Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    There is a well in one of our fields which is called "The Priests."
    It is said that long ago a village stood there. The inhabitants got sick having no clean water to drink. When a priest came to see them and found they had no drinking water he went to a field nearby and said some prayers.
    Water sprang up in three places and the well can be seen to this day.
