    Some people say that a well which is situated in cllr. Peytons field, Cloonellon is good for people who are sick that is if they drink the water in a certain way.
    A well which is situated in Cartron is situated said to be very good for people who have certain kinds of sotres. People visit this well on the first Sunday in August and take the water out of it and when they are leaving they leave a piece of cloth or something else beside the well or in it. The water is not used for any other purpose.
