- A Holy Well
The name of the well is "Tobar Ciarain". There is a well near Shrule and it is blessed.
There was a priest crossing there one day and he blessed the well. There are trees growing around the well, and the people did not like to cut the trees because they are very old.
A woman went to the well and it had risen and she would not take the water.
There is a well near Ballinrobe and it is blessed. The well is beside the road. The people near Ballinrobe go to the well every year and pray beside the well.
