  1. Our Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There are two Holy Wells around Liscarroll. One well is in Knawhill and the other in Rockspring. The one in Rockspring is called the Blessed Virgin's Well. It is said that one night a woman washed her feet in the well and when the people got up in the morning the well was removed to where it is now. A tree stands in the field where it is said the well was. There is a hole in the tree which is full of water and it never goes dry. The well in Knawhill cures sore eyes. People pay rounds to the Blessed Well in Rockspring in the months of May and August.
