- St Brigid is one of our patron saints and she is our Local patron Saint. She visited Kill, and while she was in Kill she visited a well and that well is called after her.
There was an old druid in Kill who used to go about buying children and then he used to drown them in the Black Lough Kill. Once when he was going to drown them in the Black Lough, St Brigid met him, and converted him, and baptised him in the Black Lough, and when he died he was buried in the old graveyard Kill.
