- There are only two holy wells in this District. One in Dunnamaggan & is called St Leonard's Well. A woman from Dunnamaggan had bad sight but after she had washed in the holy well, her sight was restored.
The other well, in Currahill, is called St Luke's Well, but I never heard of anybody going to that well to be cured. - St Leonard's Well
The well water cannot be boiled (Gretta Butler contradicts this & says that a man from Kilmoganny brought some home & boiled it). It heals sores by pouring the water on the sores. There is a railing around the well with bushes growing inside the railing.
