    (continued from previous page)
    The well in the glen is partly covered over with a flag stone and heath ferns grow all around it. At times, this heath and ferns assume a burnt up appearance for no seeming reason at all. It s said that the "Fairy Hare" living in it gets away from its pursuers by jumping into the "Fairy Well".
