What is recorded here

Ó Danachair (1955, 216) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'St John's Well (site of) on 1927 edition of 6-inch map. Now forms part of Hospital waterworks. Devotions ceased over fifty years ago. Rounds were made formerly and a bush (now gone) beside the well was hung with rags. The water cured eye ailments. Legends: The well moved when profaned. A trout was seen by people cured at the well. An unbeliever brought a blind horse to the well; the horse was cured and he was blinded'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 02 July 2019
