  1. St. Bridget's Well
    One night there was a man walking up the Cavan road between Butlersbridge and Cavan. He met a woman all dressed in white at Drumgola where there is a holy Well called St. Bridgets. She is seen there every 5 years and she is never in any other place only in that particular place. It is mostly the same people that see her every time.
    Young men now a days are very nervous passing it at night.
