  1. Killeedy Well

    Share Share Post
    There used two saints come from Killeedy to the Barnabuide milking their cows. St Ita was one of them. They had one ass and someone set the dog after the ass and a thorn stuck in the asses foot and the print of the asses foot is in a stone in Barnabuide. When the two saints went to Killeedy one of the saints picked the thorn out of the asses foot and stuck it below at Killeedy and turned its head down and every thorn that grew on that thorn ever since its head was turned down.
