- There is a holy well in Bilberry, Midleton. The name of this well is St Brigid's well. Two men cut down the two trees that were growing there. The name of the two men were Mr Ronayne & Mr O Brien. Many holy things were there. The people used visit the holy well on the fifteenth of August. Some of the people used come eight days before the visit, and some used stay eight days after the visit, and they would lodge in the district.
