    people say "It is not everyone would like to
    pull that. It isn't lucky" It is used as a cure
    by those who get a "blast".

    "Three Bounds Water"
    The water at the place where three townslands meet cures anything that has been "overlooked" i.e. anything on which an "evil eye" has been cast. The water is sprinkled on the affected animal etc.
    The person who fetches it must speak to no one on his way to or from the place where the water is, so he takes someone with him who does any talking that may be necessary!
    "Three bounds Water" has been taken from a spot where the townslands of Meall Meadhon, Gort na h-Eornan and Bárr Liath meet. All three are in the Parish of Kilbrittain.
