    3. Fourawn (Fuarán) well is situated about 2½ miles S. East from Kildangan. This well rises as a spring above the surface of the ground though it is at least 6 ft above the level of the river which flows within two yards of it. The well is in Bourbawn Upper.
    The water of this well is supposed to cure sore or tender eyes and people still go to it.
