    “There is a well not far from here, called Feehan's well.”

    Share Share Post
    There is a well not far from here called Feehan's well. It has never gone dry. It is believed to be a blessed well. Kyle is the townsland. There was a church convenient to the well in very olden times. The graveyard can still be discerned. This well is supposed to have curative power especially for toothache.
    Kyle or Cill or Kyleballygalvin is the name of the locality.
