- (continued from previous page)of the well is decorated with wild flowers in the Summer. Every person leaves a token after they have visited. They visit it on St. John's Eve.
Written by Bridie White Fiddane
Heard from Mrs Patrick White Tubber Rathmore - There was once a holy well near Mallow Station, and people used to do rounds and say prayers and people were supposed to get cured there.
Once when people were saying prayers there a soldier who was riding a horse saw them praying and he laughed at them and suddenly his horse fell and he was killed. I do not know if the well is there now or not.- Collector
