- There is a well in Poulamona (Poll na Móna) in the townland of Portnahully and the water from it cures warts. People who suffer from warts dip the hand on which the warts are three times in the water. There is another way to cure warts by rubbing the juice of the dandelion to them.
A man named Daniels in Fiddown cures "ringworm". He puts three furze sticks in the fire to redden. He then takes them one by one and makes signs over the ringworm reciting a prayer at the same time.- Collector
