- There is a well near our house in Moystown, Belmont, Offaly. It is called "The Blessed Well"
People go to pray at it and there is a special cure for any persons suffering from toothache. If they go around it nine times, and while going around it nine times, repeat a certain prayer, their ailment is sure of being cured. There is a hood over the well where people leave buttons, hairpins, Rosary beads, medals and coins. There is a story connected with this well too.(continues on next page)- Collector
