- There are three blessed wells around here, one in Ardmore, one in Ballyheeney and one in Aglish. The one in Ardmore is called St. Declan's Well and people go there in the month of July and say the rounds of their beads around the well. There is a big rock there which people go under to cure a pain in their. The one in Ballyheeney is called St. Mochua's Well and people go to the one in Aglish to cure ring-worm. When people go to the well they take three sips of the water. They also leave a lot of medals after them.
