  1. There is but one holy well in the parish. It is situated to the north west side of Duagh village. It is called St. Mary's well because it is believed that the Blessed Virgin once appeared there. After the apparition the well burst forth from the earth where she stood and it is still there. It is a narrow little well but it is very deep. There is a stone step going into the well. Some years ago an old man who was blind was miraculously cured after paying a certain number of visits to this well. No cure has been affected there since.
