    Every year on the 15th of August a pattern is held at a well which is named Lady's Well.
    This well is situated in a field the property of Mr Bride of Garnaman.
    This field is situated in the parish of Danesforth.
    This well is supposed to be visited by the Blessed Virgin and that is why the pattern is held there
