  1. Prophecy in connection with the Holy Well in the townland of Shancor parish of Kilmainhamwood.
    This prophecy was familiar with the old people that lived in that neighbourhood fifty of sixty years ago.
    Namely "that the waggons of war would pass by within a pistol shot of the Holy Well, known then as Tobar an Easa. There was then no road in the locality when that prophecy was made but it was verified during the Black & Tan War when the lorries were passing that way night and day.
