    Carrick Well.
    There is holy well in a tree in Carrick.
    The tree is over Father Shanley's grave.
    The annual Pattern Day is Good Friday evening.
    The people say certain prayers such as the Rosary at the well. By saying the Rosary at the well you can be cured of teeth aches. The water in the well never goes dry.
    Michael Cunningham.
    I got the information from my father.
    Father age 74.
