  1. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There is a holy well in Cashel Crine known as "Little Saints Well". But nothing is known about it. There is another well at the ministers cross, but the name is not known. The following story is attached to it- A man who lost his sight dreamt he found water in the field close to the ministers cross. He went to the field and groped around till his hand came in contact with water. He rubbed his eyes with the water, and wonderful to relate, his sight was restored.
    He planted three trees around the well which are to be seen till this present day.
