    that told me about it.
    I also heard that there was a well uh in Creeve along side of the road and Columkill asked the women that was living there at the time for a drink and the woman gave him a drink and he said that it would never go dry as it was a holy well. The well never went dry from that day to this day. It was my grandmother that told me about it.
    There is also a holy well on Aughterlin Hill and it is not too far from the chapel. There is a rock over the top of it and I do not know any person that was cured.
