  2. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There are two holy wells in this Parish. There is one in Newhall and the other in Kilbricken. The names of them are St. John's and St. Michaels.
    St. Michaels Well is in a Crag and trees all around it. People visit it on the 26th of September. They make rounds on their knees. They say a round of their beads. It is said that St.Michael's well moved some years ago. There was a big tree near the well and some men went to cut it down.
