  1. There is an old Church in Killkeeran. Saint Kieran that built it. The walls are standing. The door is low and narrow. There is a grave-yard outside. No people are buried in it now. Children that was buried in it. There is a blessed well near the church. In summer there don't be any water in it. A bush grows over it. People go to the wall on the fifteenth of August to pray. For three Sundays people go to pray around the well.
