- In Loughsallagh graveyard there is a holy well known as St Michaels. In this well there was a cure for the toothache. Every time people came here for the cure they threw a pin into the well. After a person dying the pins that were used in the waking were brought and also put into the well. It is said that a poor man washed his stockings in the holy water and ever since the well is dry.
