- (continued from previous page)When we have finished the prayers, we lift a bottle of Doon well water from the well. Three is a stone beside the well, and some people leave medals and others leave money. It is written in the stone to tell us to do this. We are also told to tie little pieces of rags and cloth around the branches that are at the well.
Excursions go from from Letterkenny to the well every Sunday in Summer-time. There are also excursions from far away places.
Several cripples have been cured, and lame, and blind people also have been made better. I think Doon well is a very holy place entirely.- Collector
