Toibreacha Beannaithe

There is a blessed well in the “riasc” near the townland of Coad, called “Tobar Bhaighdeáin. It is said that a large tree grew over it, and was cut down by a farmer who lived near by to roof a cow house. Some time after the roof was destroyed by lightning and the cattle in it were killed.
