  1. Stories about the Penal Days

    Share Share Post
    Weathers' Well got its name from this story. Between Causeway and Abbeydorney there is a Mass rock where people gathered during penal times to hear Mass. One morning soldiers came along with blood hounds. The people thought they were caught when three weathers rose up from the ground and went towards the sea and the hounds went after them. The people made their escape.
