- There is a holy well in Kilmorna. It is called St. Mary's well. There was once a fish in this well but when the black and tans were going the road one day they went in to the field to get a drink of water. When they saw the fish one of them fired a shot at it. When the people came to the well next day they saw it covered with blood and it was at the other side of the ditch.There was once a holy well in Knockanare. Once upon a time a women bought a house in Knockanure. Next day she went to the well in the neighbouring land. But she did not know it was a holy well. She got the bucket of water and carried it home and from that on she had bad luck.
