   day in honour of these saints. People from a great distance visit the well from the 8th to 15th of July each year.

   The Sunday between those days is called “Patron Sunday.” On this Sunday crows visit the well from far and near.

   There is a custom of taking a drink of the well water. Others bring bottles and jars of the water home. There is supposed to be a cure in it if taken from the well between those dates. Other people bring leaves and brances off the tree growing over the well. Other people do pilgrimages by walking nine times the stream which flows from the well, as follows. Three times the full length of the stream three short or half way and three times around the well.

   In olden times there was a church on the top of the hill over the well. The monks in the famous Mothel Abbey used celebrate Mass in this church. Mothel Abbey was destroyed in the Cromwellian period.
