    connected with this well is St. Michael. People visited this well long ago, to get cured of diseases. The people visit the well yet on the twenty ninth of October.
    Rounds are still made at the well. The prayers said are ''The Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory be to the father''.
    One occasion there was a fight fought between the local people and on account of all the blood that was spilled there the parish priest of the place called it Tobar na Fola.
