  1. Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    Weathers' Well is between Causeway and Abbeydorney. There is a Massrock at Weathers' Well. A priest was saying Mass there during the penal times and a number of people were gathered there to hear Mass. As the priest (and the people) was saying Mass soldiers came towards them with blood-hounds and the priest and the people thought they were caught but three weathers sprand up from the ground and went off towards the sea and the blood-hounds went after them. So the people and the priest made their escape.
