    Holy Wells
    There is a holy well in Knawhill and it would cure any disease. You would not be cured expect you would pay three rounds and carry some vessel with you and leave it at the well after you.
    It is said that this Holy Well was piped but the water would not run.
    There is another Holy Well in Rockspring and it is said a few people got cured there. This well was under a tree and a woman washed as child's feet in it and the well removed about fifty, but there is a hold in the tree still and it is always full of water.
