  2. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There is a holy well in the parish of Donaghmore. It is situated near the road in the town-land of Lismullyduff and it is called Tobar Bhríghde.
    In the time of the Famine a cow came to this well and gave everyone a quart of milk. She stayed in the field until the Famine was over, and she went away one night and no one knew where she went.
