    In the townland of Cre there is a fine sulphur spring, and in Diffier there is an iron spring. In the townland of Fawn at Carraceevagh bridge there is a fine spring of very cold water. This well known as "Tubber Donagh" was famous for its "pattern" on Garland Sunday. So many abuses crept in owing to faction-fights and drunkeness that the Parish Priest of Kiltoghert got an end put to the "patterns" about seventy years ago.
