  1. In the Parish of Cordal there is a very interesting and historic well in the townland of Cordal East. It is known by the name of Tubber na Vuene.
    A little interesing story is told of this well. A travelling man one fine Summer day felt very thirsty and visiting this well took a drink of water. It was so refreshing that he called it the well of the Wine which means Tubber na Vuene.
    There is also a great cure in this Blessed water. People come from far off places visit this well for the eyesight before sunrise in the morning. There is also seen in this well a little fish. If seen by any person suffering from eyesight he will surely be cured.
