  1. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There are many holy wells in Kilmuckridge + district
    From information supplied by the pupils of this school - and obtained from their parents there are records of at least four.
    One very well known and much frequented even up to the present day is, St. Monkins well situated in the townland of Killincooley - one of the townlands of Litter parish. It is near the site of an old church but there now no traces of the church beyond an old wall which it is said formed part of the old church.
    There is an old church yard burial place in the vicinity too surrounded by a high wall
