A woman had a very bad pain in her back. She went to the well in Coolard and did one round. When she reached home the pain went away." (SFC: 0406:087) There is also said to be a trout that possesses some sort of magically quality who lives in the well. "...one day a woman took a gallon of water out the well to make tea. She took out the fish in the gallon and put the fish into the kettle with the water unknown to herself. She put it over a big fire to boil it and it was over the fire for hours and it did not boil. At last she looked into the kettle and she saw the fish. She took out the fish and took him to the well again and put him into it and so the kettle boiled."(SFC: 0407:084). 9 Publications https://holywellscorkandkerry.com/2019/10/28/st-batts-well-an-abundance-of-cattle/ https://frpatmooredotcom.wordpress.com/2016/09/27/st-batts-well/ https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4666571/4662916/4667202?ChapterID=4666571 10 More As mentioned in the provided local stories, the well is noted as being in Coolard.
