- There is a well at the Loo Bridge called Tobar na Naomh (the well of the saints). The people around the place go doing rounds to the place every year. The well is holy. There was a band of saints going over the hill to Suggan Bearra. The first saint took a drink at the well. He forgot his spectacles near the well. He thought of his spectacles when he was in Suggan Bearra. He told the saint that was next to him that he forgot his spectacles and he told the saint that was next to him and they passed the word along to each other and the last saint got the spectacles near the well. He brought the spectacles to Suggan Bearra.
