   This story was told by Birdie Gunning and is written here by Thomas Butler on 25th day of July 1938.

   Situated about a mile from Cloghan in what is known as the townland of Logg there is the remains of an old well. It resembles a deep hole but the common belief is that at one time there was a holy well there, it was called "St. Briget's well." The story goes that a man named Daly lived near the well. One day he was away from home, a servant in the home went to prepare some oaten meal for supper. Finding no water in the house she went to this well although water from the well was never used for household purposes. She boiled the water but could not get the oaten meal mix with it. Although the story goes she kept the mixture boiling for several hours she could not make the gruel next morning the man returned home and discovered that the well had disappeared overnight. People say the the servants and brought a curse on Daly and his family shortly. After they left the place in time.
