- St Sornian's Well is situated in the townland of Ballynacloghy about three miles from the village of Clarinbridge.This well has virtue on Friday but the old people say that the principal day is Garlic Sunday.Devotees pass from the well to St Sornian's Cell. There are small cairns which must have been stations in the pilgrimage which ends at Skincholla a mound near the shore.It is said that people who were subject to bad sight, headaches or such like used go there to be cured and some of them used to be cured.
