  3. The Well in Tervoe

    "This is not as well known as St. James Well. It is called The Grotto. There is a shrine there with a statue of Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin. There are steps going down to the well.
    There are a few big rocks at the back of it and a heap of stones. People who want to be cured drink the water. There is a mug there for which to drink it. At one side of the well there is a stone cross with the inscription.
    "Erected by Lady Emly 1922"
