Shannon, nor did he enter into Roscommon.
In the townland of Hiltytea there is
a well on a high hill, and there is
bush growing over it. This well represents
a small oven, and there is a drop of
water in it. On the bush there are
small pieces of cloth tied. The reason of
that is some who were suffering from
warts came, and said five Paters, Aves, and
Glorias. They took a tiny piece of cloth, clipped it
in the water, and rubbed it to the wart
three times in the name of the Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost in honour off the saint
that cures the warts. They were then cured
and I know some of them who were cured in this
way.- Collector
