    Our Holy Wells.
    There are two holy wells in our Parish. One of them is situated on the side of Ballycurra Road about a mile from our school. The other is situated under the road in Moyne in the Parish of Hacketstown. No people visit these holy wells on certain days now, nor no rounds are performed, nor prayers said. Some people were cured at the well in Moyne long ago. Saint Brigid is mentioned in connection with them. The well in Moyne is especially recommended for the cure of sore eyes.
