  1. Wells and Forts

    Share Share Post
    Several Holy wells exist in this district. One well near Rosscarbery is known as the Teampuillin.
    On 15th August several people visit it and walk round it a certain number of times.
    People who suffer leave behind them rags which they used to cover their sores.
    It is very unlucky to dig a fort. A story is told of a Kilbrittain man who did so and was killed the day after. A man who helped him was fatally injured a year from that day. It is not right to close in a well.
