- (continued from previous page)There is another well about five or six miles from our school called Cloonoran. There are three trees in it and in the middle tree there is holy water to be found. The people who make the stations go around seven times and three times on their knees. Long ago people got cured from warts sores and headaches there. People who get cured leave a safety pin or a strip of cloth beside the tree. There seems to be a connection between Knockcroagh and Cloonoran as when the pilgrimage is in Knockcroagh the water leaves Cloonoran and goes to Knockcroagh well, and the day after it returns again to Cloonoran.There is a well in Moylough and it is beside a hill and there is a river running from it. If a person had boils or warts and they to wash them in it they would get cured.
