   There are two large stones outside the well with two hollows, the track of St. Patricks knees when he knelt in prayer. The well is called St Patricks bed. At the head of the well there is a small stone cross. There was a Church there called Cill Mogue which took its name from an old Bishop called Mogue. There was also a churchyard there in former times. It is supposed that Bishop Mogue was buired there.
