  1. Story of a Well

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Cann about half a mile south of Mount-Temple in a field owned by my father there is a well called Garret's well.
    As my great great grandfather was making a roadway through his land he came to a large rock which had to be blasted to be taken out of its place.
    He gave it a blow of a sledge and split it in two parts. Through the split a stream of water gushed forth.
    It is now a never failing spring well. Garret Ledwith was the man's name and the well is always called Garret's well.
