  1. Tubber Even

    Share Share Post
    There is an old well situated in a place called Bellevue near Termonfecking. It is in the middle of a field and is surrounded by thorn bushes.
    It is called Tubber Even or Saint Eveleens Well and is supposed to have been situated in Cartown in ancient times.
    The people of Cartown however treated the well with great disrespect and the washed their clothes in it. After a while a great storm arose one night and the next day the people were amazed to discover that during the night the well had been blown from Cartown to Bellvue.
