- Corrin Well is situated on the North side of the hill about half way between the summit and base, a little imaginary line drawn from the Cross to the Presentation Convent School. The shape of the hill is roughly, triangular, a little stream flows from it down to the base of the hill. When people are passing by and if they are thirsty they drink the water.
A few yards west of the well is a furze bush on which many relics are suspended, rosary beads, scapulars, walking sticks and medals. There is also a little altar in the vicinity which seems to be made of cement.
People paid rounds to this well long ago, those who were in any way sick were supposed to be cured when the third round was paid, this practice is however now discontinued but some pious people often visit the well and pray at it. No fish live in(continues on next page)
