    There is a "warty" well in Bellnacanty. People who have warts on their hands, go to this well and throw a pin or a button or a coin into the well. Then they dip the wart into the well. In a few days the wart goes away.
    There is a well on the Clones road called the Jaundice well. It is situated in the townland of Grelliboy. The disease of the Jaundice can be cured by bathing in this water. It is said that St. Patrick quenched his thirst at this well in Summer. He then blessed the water. The foot prints of the Saint and his dog can be seen in the rock adjoining the well yet.
