    for the person who put the shelter over the well, and one Pater and one Ave for Father Gallagher who blessed the well.
    An old tradition says that St. Conall slept a night at this well on his way from Inniskeel to Doire leac Conaill and that it was he who first blessed.
    Bernard Gallagher got cured of a running sore on the face by visiting the well and making the station.
    Several got cured of toothache at it. Bernard Campbell of Lettermacaward got cured of deafness at it.
