- There is a holy well in Kilronan, Keadue. People visit it and make stations there from the fifteenth of August to the eight of September. The well is called after St. Lasar. People drunk the water to cure diseases. The well was formerly on top of a hill belonging to a protestant. He did not want to have it there and he closed it up. the next day the well had sprung up again about five hundred yards away from where it had been formerly. People tried to boil the water but have failed.
