    Saint Martins well is just below Piercestown Chapel. It is dedicated to Saint Martin who was Bishop of Tours and Patron of Piercestown. This well too is said to be cure for sore eyes.
    No particular cure has taken place there however during the past few years. A pump is now erected over it, and the water is used for household purposes.
