    There is a holy well in Ballyea in the parish of Clare Castle It is near Killowen lake
    The people go there on a piligrimage every year in the month of June Some people go to pray from piety and others go to get cured of various disease's
    When they visit the well they do the round The round is done in this way Shoes are taken off and the round is done bare footed The Rosary is said at the same time
    Whe a lame person is cured he leaves his crutch behind him as a sign that he is cured There is a holy eel under a rock and who ever sees the eel will get his request
