    A short distance from Coolaney in the noted holy well Tobar Tullaghan where the people used flock until the middle of the last century.
    Tobar Nalt at Sligo on the short of Loch Gill and people go there on the last Sunday of July. It is a custom for anyone who visits the well to take three sips of the water.
