A gentleman residing at Oldcourt began tunnelling operations for the construction of a rain drain to his residence. The work was begun in the neighbourhood of St. Columb's well.
Human bones were dug up. One day a pious farmer was passing by and seeing the bones of the dead thrown in a desecrated heap remonstrated with the workers. He cautioned them and reminded them the bones were those of saints, and that misfortune would be their lot for interfering with the site of the holy well.
