- There is a holly well in this parish called Saint Boedan's well. It can cure many diseases.
About sixty years ago mothers took their children to this well.
After saying their prayers if they child was going to mend a fish would appear but if it was not going to mend flies would come on top of the water.
This well is behind Neil Faulkner's house and near the Culdaff river.
Many children of this parish got cured at this well.- Collector
