- It is said that Columcille founded many wells in Buncrana Parish and there is one in Slavery a few yards from the main road. This well is supposed to be founded by St Columcille and the tracks of his knees can be seen on a stone where he did penance. No pilgrims go this well in these days. The people that live near this well take water out of it, because it is spring water.
