  1. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    In Carrickbeg on the old Mass road up boreen in the field is the well of Saint Molleran to which devotees resorted in the old times about 70 years ago the pigrimages ceased. It is from this well that the townsland of Carrickbeg is called Kilmolleran.
    In Coolnamuc are two wells bearing some reputation for Sanctity or super natural virtue. One is St. Anthony's down in the fields by the tower near the River. This formerly had a pattern but has now lost not only its reputation for Sanctity but practicality its very name.
    The other is 'Saint Vallerys' well by the roadside at Millvale. Its real name is ''Tobar Bealaig'' The well by the Roadway. Nothing is known about this or whether a pilgrimage was held or pattern.
