    A Story.
    At the north of Doolough there is a Blessed Well called Saint Ruan's.This well was in Poulcoum at first .Long ago a certain woman wanted to boil potatoes.She had no water near her and she went to this Blessed Well for a bucket water.The potatoes never boiled. In the morning the well was removed to another place.
    People go there on Fridays and Sundays and do rounds there.One big round and and a small round.Many people are cured from many troubles.The well is situated in a very lonely place.
