- Blessed Wells
There is a blessed well on a hill near Deerpark called "Tobar Muire". The water in it is supposed to cure all kinds of diseases. Everybody that comes to this well takes some of the water with them from the well. It would never get bad, no matter how long you kept it.
I know an old woman in the locality who often told me that on several occassions when she had a sore finger or sore eye or any other kind of sickness , after coming to the well, drinking a few drops of water out of it and saying some prayer sto the Blessed Virgin, she always found her self well again.
It is not a very big well. there are nice wild flowers growing near it. Everybody that comes to the well settles the stones nicely around it.
