  1. There is a Holy Well in Skehanore in a field called the Cill. There is an old graveyard in the same field. The well is in the side of a cnocán in a hole in a rock.
    People used to visited the well, but it is not visited now. People used to visit it on Fridays, and Saturdays, and Sundays, and they used to leave bottles, and rags, and pennies sometimes after them. There is a small furze bush bush growing against it.
