    well. There is a little bee-hive shaped cell erected with statues of Our Lord, St. Fintan, Our Blessed Lady and St. Teresa in it.
    Built all around the well is a stone wall with seven crosses standing amidst the stones. There is a fish in the well and whoever sees it is sure to be cured.
    This well is very often visited, but especially on the 29th of June.
