- In the farm at present (A.D. 1938) occupied by John Moloney of Ballybrohan in the parish of OGonnelloe there is a field with a circular hollow. This hollow was the best well in the townland in far off days. One day a woman had some clothes to wash and she was too lazy to bring water from the well so instead she took the clothes to the well and washed them in the water.
Next morning she went for water to the well to make her breakfast and all she found in the well was a small amount of suds and the well is dry ever since and can be seen to this day.
