  1. Holy Wells

    Leathanach 056

    In my parish of Riverstown there are not any Holy Wells of much importance but there is one about three miles away called Tubbarnalth. People visit it during the year but the greatest pilgrimage is on the last Sunday of July and on the 15th of August.
    The well was blessed by Saint Patrick and it is said that in the penal days its waters were used in the celebration of Mass which was said under an old tree when no priest could venture into the town of Sligo.
    The well has cure of diseases and sores and a bleeding out of the nose. The people generally drink the water but they never bathe in it
    There is a trout in the well and one side of it is burned. This is how it got burned, one day a man named Hargadon of near Sligo caught this trout, a lot of attempts were made before that but they never succeeded in catching it. He took the trout home with him and put it on the coal. When it was half-done it jumped off the coal out into the well. The trout is in the well yet, but very few only sees it.

    In case of sores or external afflictions the water is applied to the affected part. The people also drink it. They also carry it away in bottles and use it during the year. For instance if a person gets an internal pain, three sips of the water is believed to bring relief.
    Articles of piety are hung on the bush beside the well, scapulars, rosary beads, or medals. Sometimes medals or money are thrown into the well. Silver coins are rarely left there, a few coppers are thrown into the well or placed on a stone beside it. All the money left near the well is taken by tinkers, who come to Ross for the occasion. The local people never touch it, but they are all quite satisfied that the tinkers take it.
    Pieces of cloth are tied on the hawthorn bush by the pilgrims, and left there.
    A trout is supposed to inhabit the well. It would not be right to interfere with the trout, and no one has ever meddled with it. If people see the trout when praying to obtain a cure, their request will be granted. If the trout is not visible, it is a sign

    It is said that a Saint lived there once and the impression of a saints body is to be seen there marked out on a flat stone. The trout could only be seen before Sun-rise, and anyone who was to see it should be there before that time. It is said that a Protestant caught the trout once and tried to cook it but he was not able. There is a tradition that the well was further up in the glen, but cattle used to be walking in around it so it moved and sprung further down the glen.

    The well went dry until the trout came to life again. No man or woman was after that. No man ever saw the trout after that. The most curious thing about this well was that it flowed in one spout one year and in an other spout the next year. The water changed from the spout it was flowing in and it never flowed in that spout after. No one ever had anything to do with the well when the water changed.

    Trout Fishing
    In Spring and Summer, visitors and local people fish for trout on this lake. The trout are of very good quality and weigh one and a half to two and a half pounds each. They are not plentiful and it is commonly believed that no person could catch more than three trout any day but there are several instances where more than this number have been caught.
    The Giants Grave
    In a field higher up the mountain and about two hundred yards from the lake there is what is called a "Giants Grave". The place is marked by a high mound of stones and earth. It is now overgrown with grass. It is thought that during one of the Saints visits to the lake a local giant died and was buried there. St. Columbkille blessed the grave and performed the funeral rites.

    Once there lived a man who was after building a new wooden house. A giant came one day and brought away the house, and the man did not know what to do. He was fishing one day and he caught a trout. The trout said "if you let me go I will do some good for you some day. The man thought he would do no good but all the same he let him go. He got an advice from a man one day. He said to him to knock that tree with one mighty blow and out of that nest a hare would come and out of the hares mouth a wild duck would come and out of the duck an egg would come. To get that egg and to stick the giant in the forehead and it would kill him. The man got the axe and struck the tree and knocked it down and out of the nest a hare came and out of the hares mouth a wild-duck came and the wild-duck flew into the sea and he saw the egg dropping and he did not know what to do. So after a little while the trout came out of the sea with the egg. The man went to the giants house and he struck the giant with the egg in the forehead and

    to Lowsburg, Mayo. It is about ten miles out from Westport. It is the custom all over Mayo for people, wishing for spiritual or corporal favours to do Stations at the well. The well contains a miraculous trout which is supposed to appear if the pilgrim is to be granted that for which he prays. The trout hides in under ledges and rocks at the bottom of the well and occasionally it comes out and swims round the pool a few times. There is the track of a tongs on the back of the fish as at one time a Protestant who lived nearby caught the fish and took it home with him. He said that all the talk about the fish being supernatural was only nonsense and to prove that this was so he put the trout on the tongs to roast it. No sooner did it feel the heat of the coals than it jumped off out on the floor. Then it umped out the door and so back to the well. The fish swims on its side and the tracks of the tongs may be plainly seen on it.

    There is a blessed well in Turlogh.
    A lot of people go every year to it.
    Once a man caught a trout in the well and he put it on a tongs to roast. The man thought it was dead. When he was just leaving it on the tongs to roast it hopped off. The man brought it to the well again. The tract of the burn is on the side of the trout yet. That trout must be as old as the hills.

    There is a Holy Well in Bohea about 3/4 of a mile s from this school. 100 yds from the Leenane road. This was discovered about ten years ago by Patrick Kearns, Glynsk, he having heard it from his grandfather. No stations or prayers said there; shrubs all round it.
    There is another blessed well in Aughavale about two miles from this school. People still visit it to perform stations by going around it seven times saying any prayers they like. It is said that there was a trout in this well and he used not to come out to anyone only those who performed their station right. Very long ago this trout was caught and brought home, put on the tongs to roast; he jumpedof it & made his way back to the well and the track of the tongs on his side. In 1920 the British soldiers caught him and killed him so he never escaped again. It is thought that this trout lived there for hundreds of years.
