- About a mile outside this town on the road to Templemore there is a holy well.
It is said that the water from this well will cure sore eyes. You must bathe your eyes with the water three times before you are cured.A few years ago this owner of the field tried to change the course of the stream that flows from the well but the well went dry and when he let the stream back on its old course it started to flow again. Anyone who is cured must put some money or a medal in the well. Rags maybe seen on the hawthorn over the well and coins and medals are laying at the bottom of the water. William Kyan
