These two wells can be found in a cave in Gleann Uladal. The cave is large enough to hold a good number of men but according to legend one of the wells must not be used by dogs or the water will dry up – the other well was therefore reserved just for the dogs. As the well would have been used by shepherds care was taken that their dogs were kept tied so that they couldn’t drink of the ‘forbidden well’
