    is a priest's grave. There is a house near it also, in which mass was said in olden times. Some people say that if the water from the well is put on the fire to boil, it will not boil.
    When a man was going from work one evening, he was passing by a holy well in Kilrane. He threw dirt into it and it changed from where it was to another place.
