   There is a story locally told about St. Colm cille and his wanderings in the neighbourhood of Edenderry.

   One hot summer day the Saint and a friend were passing through Ballykillen, and, feeling thirsty, they went into a house and asked for a drink, the woman of the house told them to "be gone". "You will get no drink here beggars like you."
   St. Colmcille and his friend had just left the house when the woman's husband came in. He asked her did she know to whom she had refused a drink, and when he told her it was St. Columcille, she got sorry and asked him to run after them and bring them back. The saint refused to come back, and at that moment struck the ground with his heel and a spring of pure water gushed up.

   The Saint said. "There is enough water here for me to drink and for everyone that passes this way for ever.
