The Well in Tallagh
There is supposed to be a blessed well in Tallagh. It is along the shore but it changed out into the sea. Someone washed his feet in the well and on that account it changed out into the sea and boiled up there. It is sad that it is not right for the person to wash his feet in the well. It was desecrating the well to wash his feet. The well is to be seen there yet boiling up from the strand.
