  1. Dunboyne Graveyard
    When a person was being buried they carried the corpse in a big sheet, and they threw the pins of the sheet into the well that was in the graveyard, and there was a cure for a headache in the water. The well is not very big but it was cemented all around but it is full of leaves and grass now. It is a long time since there was water in the well.
