- (continued from previous page)There is a place in Tralee called Moyderwell. The reason it was called Moyderwell is that in the time of the Normans, a great Norman found a French coin called a Moyder at the corner of the place now called Deans Lane, where there was a well, and ever since the district around there is called Moyderwell.
