- There are a few holy well around this district which are called after saints - St Ultan's well it is in a field beside a ditch at Drumgoolin. It is called the well field.
There is a trout in the well. There is a stone beside the well with the mark of St. Ultan's knees where he prayed long ago.
People come from all parts to get cured and the left rags after them.
The water is used household work and there is never any disease on the people.
