- In a field in Ballymore there is a blessed well. In former times the people used to take water from it for simple cures such as toothache earache and other aches. On one occasion it is said that a woman washed clothes in the well and it moved to another part of the field where it is at present. The people around the locality keep it clean and in order and Mr Wadding the cooper has lately put a wooden barrel around it, to keep the mud from getting in to it.
