- Situated at Cloona, Drumard. It is said that Saint Patrick prayed there.There is a cure in a tree that grows near the well. A piece of its bark is a cure for any sickness or soreness. People make the pilgrimage on the 29th June, and the rounds are made there. It is made barefooted and water is drunk from the well.
- St Fechin's Well is in Beltra, in a field by the roadside. It is in a hollow between two branches and over the well is a stone slab, with an angel sculptured on it, and a cross on the angel's back; beneath the angel is an inscription in Latin. There were great pilgrimages there formerly.
