    Folklore Holy Wells
    There is a holy well in Gortbeha and it opened there every summer. People go to visit it and make rounds at it and one drinks the water.
    There is another well in Knoughneeha and it cures sore eyes and people who have sore eyes go there.
    There is a holy well in Faha also an it is for sore eyes and if you want to get cured you must sleep at the well.
