  1. There is a Blessed well over near Kelly’s house. It is called ‘Tobar Inghíne Bhaoith. It is down on a flag and no matter how dry the weather is or how wet, the well would not get bigger or smaller. A family near by brought some of the blessed water in to boil and it failed them to boil it.

  2. There is a blessed well near Dick Scales’s called ‘Bolán Phádraig’. This well had stones around it. Some of the stones were taken for a house and it is said that part of the house never dried. St. Patrick left his crozier on a stone and the print of it is there on the flag.
