- At Malin Head there is a well called Malin Well, in which there is a cure and this well is in the tide and it has always fresh water.
Here there is a wee house in the rocks called the Wee House of Malin.
There is also the remains of a chapel here. Convenient to the well stands a large rock known as the wishing chair, a chair is cut out of the rock and an opening on each side of the rock.
Here in penal days a saint was killed at this rock and his blood which was spilt on the rock can be plainly seen until this day.(continues on next page)
