    There is a well over at the Castle Hill in the Parish of Killavullen. It is known as St. Nicholas's Well. There is a story connected with this well.
    Once there was an old woman living in Killavullen village and she had a servant working for her Every evening the servant used to go over to the well to get water for the morning One night she did not come home until twelve o'clock and she had to get the water before she would go to bed. She got two buckets and went to the well. When she was coming home she saw a big boot full of gold. She was afraid to go near the boot and she ran home as fast as she could tell her mistress.
