- There is a well at Oldcastle and it is called The Blessed Well. People who have sore legs or black legs or any sort of sores will be cured at this well if they believe in it and say prayers and make the stations of the cross three times and wash their sores in the water. Then they will be cured. People come from Australia and all parts of the world to be cured at this well.
