    In Graigue
    St Lawrence's well is in Mr.Barron field in Ballyogan. It is near the "River Barrow". The following is the local tradition attached to this well.
    One day st. Lawrence was out hunting. It was a warm June day and he suddenly became very thirsty. He prayed for water and while looking around a well sprung up. He blessed it, and the people call it St. Laurence's well ever since.
