    Araghen lies to the North East of Kilworth, surrounded mountains; while its valleys and glens are watered by many a river. On the Kilmury border is "Tobar na h-Ola" meaning the "Well of the oils", because an old story says that a priest on a sick call one night was supposed to have lost the blessed sacrement, and Holy oils on his way.
    When he arrived at the sick person's house, he missed it. On returning home he found it where this well had sprung up. A pattern is held on the 29th September yearly. This well is also called "St. Michael's Well".
