- There is a church near Mrs MacCann's house in Teltown and it is called Teltown Churchyard. In this Churchyard there is a well and in the well there is a "Pound of Butter." The story is that a certain woman living in the locality made a Pound of butter on a Sunday and she took it to this well to wash it. It changed into a stone and fell to the bottom of the well. The stone is still to be seen in the well. This story was told to me by Thomas Reilly, Teltown. Patrick Mullen
