Probably local people did not like the trespass of all the cattle coming on May 1st-12th. every year and did not object to its being closed. The location of the old well is still pointed out. The well which is used to day is supposed to be connected with that closed up. A third well Tobairin An Chait (little well of the cat) is said to have broken out when the old well was closed. The old well was within the Cathair. The well now used is at western entrance to Cathair. Tobairín An Chait is in Philip Cremin's field.
