Holy Wells [duchas:4980531]

Warty Well
There is a well in Killallon. It was called the Warty Well. When you dip  your hand into the well the wart's fall off your hand.

St Lucys Well
There is a well in Killua. It is called St Lucy's Well. When you drink the water you can wish for anything you lost and you will find it. I do not know if any prayers are said or not.
