According to Lyng (1959,23-8), 'To the east [of Grangefertagh], at BLEST WELL (T.9) OF 'ST.ELEGAN' alias 'ST.ULEKAN' (10), at which you may cure a sore eye if you visit the well, before breakfast;on three consecutive mornings. You may tie a piece of rag on the nearby sceach to complete the ritual. The cure and the ritual were at some period tranferred from TOBAR-NA-SUL (T. 10), which is at the other side of the road in the adjoining townland of Monenamuck (11)'. On Lyng's accompanying map the location given for the holy well is in fact a lime kiln. The precise location of the holy well is unknown.
