- There is a Blessed Well situated in Boherhallagh, in the parish of Toomore, in the barony of Gallen and in the county of Mayo. It is about four feet in diameter and it has a soft muddy bottom. In the centre of the well a curious kind of plant grows and it has no leaves. Several times it changes from place to place.
Long ago people visited this well and some of them took the water home.
The people that own the land in the which the well is situated make use of the water.
