    There is a small well in Sheskin called "Tobairín an Duine bhoct".
    Long ago a blind man dreamt he saw the little well on the side of the road, he thought someone said to him "Bathe your eyes in the well and you will be cured".
    The next morning he came and bathed his eyes and he got back his sight. People do rounds there during the month of May.
    It was believed that diseases were cured there.
