- There is a holy well in Crossfield. It is called Kilercranathan Well. it is said that a cow had calved near the well and that night a man was stealing the calf There was a big stone near the well and when the man stood on it, it is said that the calf and himself stuck to it. The mark of the calf's legs are still to be seen on the stone. The well is also supposed to have removed from one field to another. It never goes dry and there is supposed to be a cure in it. Long ago the old people used to visit it, and pay rounds to it, but now no one is interested init. The well is situated in John Tarrant's farm in Crossfield and at all times even in the hottest day in Summer the water is very cold and can be seen bubbling up from the bottom of the well.
