St Fanahan's Well is situated a mile East of Mitchelstown. There is a story told about it. Once a priest was arrested and brought to Clonmel to be tried. He was tied to a hugh stone and he lifted it with miraculous power, and carried it back to Mitchelstown. He left it beside his hut where he got water. Anybody with bad sight who could see an eel or trout in the well would be cured.

Curraheen well situated near Knocklong remains always at the same level and it is always cool and fresh.
