“On the tops of several large stones here there are small holes which fill with water”
On the tops of several large stones here there are small holes which fill with water. People who have warts rub them with this water are cured. The holes are known as wart wells. It is said that mass was offered on these stones in Penal days & that the holes were holy water fonts.
