    "Bishops Well". It is believed that this is the burial place of the bishop. Some say that his body was removed afterwards and buried at Clonmacnoise. But others hold that this is impossible because at that time the English soldiers were in the country and that he was left in this place. The question is not settled but the place is plain to be seen. There is a row of flat stones between the land and the well which is rarely filled with water.
