   called "Conwal Well." There is a history attached to the well. On one occasion heavy rain fell some distance above the well. and great floods ran in the direction of the well. When the floods were nearing the well the water divided and took a course on each side of the well. A great amount of sand, stones & clay carried down by the flood passed by the well on each side. It was said that on another occasion people used the water of the well to boil potatoes but they could not get the water. to heat.
