- Our holy wells.
There is one hold well in our parish. It is in the townland of Cornapallis. The name of the field is Cluan Patrick. The people visit it on the three first Sundays in July.
The people go round and say one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory be to the Father each time going round the statue fifteen times. There is not any story about the well that I heard of.
It is said that Saint Patrick slept a night there. He had a horse with him. The track of the horses hoof is there yet. I never heard of anyone being cured there. People drink three drops of water there.
It is said that a person tried to boil it and it would not boil. There is not any fish in the well.
