- Creevelea Abbey at Dromahair was built by the ORorkes about the year 1860. One summer's day as the masons were building it a woman carrying two pairs of milk chanced to pass the way. The day was so warm that one of the masons grew very thirsty and he asked the woman for a drink, but she refused. He asked her the second time and she again refused the mason was so vexed that he cut the woman's image in a stone with her mouth open and her tongue out. It is said that her image is still to be seen in the building. On every wet day it is remarked that a drop of water comes from her mouth.
