   The Holy well that I heard of is situated about half a mile out side Killavullen on the side of the road there is a big black thorn bush growing over it. It is said that this well was in a small field under the castle and the man who owned the castle sowed some crop in the field and at night the well moved out to the side of the road. People pay rounds to this well they leave a bit of a stick for a token when they are going away. They drink the water out of the well.
