  1. There is a holy well called Tobar-Muire. It belonged to the Church which was situated there years ago. There has been several people cured by using the water. The most recent of all was a man cured of Diabetes. A man went to dig a shore and when night came he went. When he came back in the morning the shore was filled in. And could never be dug out any more. There is also a holy-well in the half parish of Askamore in the townsland of Brides-Well. It is dedicated to Saint Brigid. There is an imprint of the Saint's foot on a stone at the well.
    There is also a holy-well in Knockanure.
