- TEAMPUILLÍN CLANN DOIRÍN -
( Cloundereen )The ruins of an old church are situated in a field owned by Cullinane's of Cloundreen. A graveyard adjoins the ruins but it is not now used. Some stones from the church walls were taken by a man who was building a new house. Nothing happened. Another man, who was building a house later on, also drew away loads of stones from it but every load which was taken during the day came back to the Teampuillín during the night. - Informant

As the tide recedes the font empties once more until only a drop is left. This water when rubbed to warts is supposed to cure them
