- In Glendassan river there is a well called the Keve well which St. Kevin blessed and in which he left a cure. Long ago on the 3rd of June every year people went to pray at this well and to be cured of disease. When leaving the well they used to tie a piece of cloth on a tree over the well. This tree went by the name of St. Kevin's Tree. A man went to cut down this tree it is said and he was almost drowned with a shower which fell from the tree so that he gave up the task of cutting it.
