    There is a well in the grounds near Dunloe Castle. Tobar Criosc it was called. Rounds used be paid there on the first Saturday and Sunday of the month. When Protestants (Conyers) came to Dunloe Castle, they closed the entrance to the well, and the field turned into a quagmire. When the O'Mahoneys came to Dunloe, the opened the well again and rounds are still paid there on the first Saturday and Sunday and also on Good Friday.
