    Share Share Post
    There is a well in a field owned by Mr Mortimor, Parish of Mullagh, townland of Longfield.
    The well is now covered with grass, no people go to visit it now. The well is called Saint Kilian's Well. St Kilian is the patron saint of Mullagh church. His feast is celebrated on the eight of June.
    Thirty years ago the priest and teachers of Mullagh Parish tried to revive the memory of St Kilian. They got a collection of poems composed by a local poet about St Kilian.
    The teachers of the five schools of the Parish instructed the children to recite the poems.
