- The parish of Clontibret which is Cluaintiobrad or the meadow of the well is supposed to get its name from a well a few perches from this school. It is a large well of irregular shape on the slope of a hill in Irvine's field and is fed by several springs. A thorn bush and a small ash tree grow on the bank over it. Even in the greatest drought this well has never been known to go down more than an inch or two. The water is always cold and has a good taste.
