Killichonate Well
Killichonate Well submitted by KiwiBetsy : The well is supposed to have steps but I couldn't see these because the level of water was too high. It was impossible to tell if the well was the source of the water or not. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Highlands

This well occupies a very wet and midgy area on private land. There are records of a church having stood about 50 yards to the north east but all traces of it have now gone. A graveyard was also located nearby … all traces of it have also gone.
