There is another at the top of Sliab Sneact called the well of the eyes the people who visit it always leaves a rag or some other sort of relic. There is another well at the top of Fahan hill a lot of people visit it in the summer it is hard to find only there is a cross at it. There are a lot of medals, scapilers, crosses, rags, and pieces of prayer - beads at it.
