    A blessed well is situated in Patrick Buckley's field.
    It is called St. Sinan's Well.
    People pay round to this well very often. There are three special Saturdays on which they pay rounds - the Saturday before May Day, the Saturday before St. John's Day, and the Saturday before Michaelmas.
