Tobar Shorcha / Sarah's Well
Outside the village of Doochary on the back road to Letterkenny is Tobar Shorcha,. 

​The water there is reputed to cure skin conditions and people can make a pilgramage there to either seek a cure for themselves or for a friend or family member.  Should they seek the cure for someone other than themselves, they bring a piece of clothing or some other item belonging to the person for whom they are seeking a cure.
