    connected with this well. It is (some) believed that a mam named Courtney who owned the field tried to prohibit people from entering the field and he became a cripple after. There is also another story attached to it. It is said that a woman once took water from it to boil potatoes, but when she reached home she found it was turned into bloody. Some of those stories may appear to be legends but the people in Dunleer strongly protest especially the older generation say that they are quite true.
