  1. Holy Wells

    There is a holy well in Kilcormac, but there is no record of, no one ever saw it.
    There is an old holy water trough outside the Graveyard + that is where the people go to cure warts.
    People say that there is water in that trough the driest day of the year. But it is not the case. If you went there on a Summer's day you would have to bring some water with you to cure the warts by making the sign of cross three times over the warts with the water.
