- There was a holy well in the property of the late Mr Duke of Newpark where the priests used to read Mass. There were stations performed at the well also. The well is still to be seen and the people call it the "Mass-Well"
St Brigid prayed at this well and the track of her knees where she knelt is still to be seen.
