- There is a well on the Lohinlay(?) mountains. It cured skin disease. Many people were cured by it. A man who lived on the Lohinlays, had two dogs, and they had skin disease, and he heard that the dogs would be cured if he threw them into the well. He threw them into the well, and destroyed the well. The well was closed then. It was in he parish of Tierworker.
