- There are two holy wells in the parish one in Killua and one in Killallon.The one in Killua is in a garden, and the one in Killallon is on the side of the road. It is called the Warty Well because it cures warts. In order to get cured you must throw a pin in it and you must put a piece of cloth on the bush beside it. It is not called after any saint. The well in Killua is called ''St Lucy's well'' There is no cure in it. There is no story told about it.
