    As you walk around Salterstown rocks you will notice a well, this well is called Saint Mocholmog's Well because he made it.
    One day as he was walking around the shore he met a pagan man who wished to be baptised. St. Mocholmog said he would baptise him. The man said "We have no water". St Mocholmog walked over tipped the rock and a gush of water came out of the rock and made a well which you couldn't dry. He baptised the man and he became a catholic.
