- There is a Holy well in Ferns known as St. Mogue's well. There is another Holy well in Kiltilly known as St. Mary's well. If anyone had warts and went to the Holy well and rubbed the warts, when they come home the warts would go after a couple of days.There is another Holy well in Brideswell known as St. Brigid's well.
