- Thomas Waters lives in a labourer's cottage about a mile on the Athlone side of Kinnegad. He is about sixty five years of age and he told me about the holy well of Clonfad.He said his mother told him that her father used to go up to Clonfad and say three Hail Mary's and drink a mouthful of water in order to cure his pains. This well is situated in James Dardis's land at the turnpike. The turnpike is the boundary between Kinnegad parish and the parish of Rochfortbridge.
