  1. There is a well which is situated south of the Galtee Mountains. There is an outlet to it which rises out of the ground about ten yards from the well. In the well itself there are two trout. The first visit you make to the well you will see a trout. The next time you go to the well you will see the other trout but go as often as you like afterward and you will never see either of the trout. Many crutches are to be found near the stream showing that many people were cured.
