- Long ago, up in Killoughey there were men going to build a house, and they had no water. One morning St Brigid came down from a tree, and the mark of her hands and knees are there still. There was a hole in the stone, in which she put water, and ever since, there is water in it.
- About 250 yards, west, from the school, and on the right-side as you go up to Killurine Cross, there is a little stream called the Spa-well
The old people say that they saw a large number of people there, that came from all over Ireland to cure warts. - Collector
