Near where I live there is a well called Tobar -sa - manna and this is the story of how it got its name. Saint Ann was one day in the wood and the devil appeared to her. She climbed a tree and the devil went after her. She then jumped down, and in doing so her hands came to rest on a big stone. A well sprung up where she landed on the ground and it is called Saint Ann's well, and the marks of her four fingers and thumb are still to be seen on the stone beside the well.
