- There is a well in the townland of Loughgowna. It is called Tobar Phadraig. It is not visited now nor prayers are not said at it. There may have been a shrine at it one time for there are stones round about which are different from the stones common to the district. These stones must have been brought there.The nearest Holy Well which is visited by the people of this district is at Tobar nAlt in Co. Sligo. Special excursion trains run from Enniskillen on the last Sunday in July and all the local people get an opportunity to visit "The Well."
