  1. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There is a holy well in the townland of Ballincor. People came and danced arround it and they put images around it. They bring sick people, and they are supposed to heal them. It is a field which belongs to Mr. Doyle and they use the water for the house out of the holy well. There is a kind of a little wood arround it. One time they were at it a man died there.
