  1. Tobar na bhFíonn well is situated near Cordal chapel. Many people come there to pay rounds. Some people say they see a white trout swimming around the well. Some long time ago a man living near it took home a kettle of water to boil. The trout got into the kettle however, and the water would not boil. He had to empty the kettle and take the water and the trout back to the well again. The next kettle full boiled as usual.
