Our Lady's well is situated in the townland of Dromellihy and St. Margaret's well is situated by the side of the road running between Cree and Cooraclare, and about a mile south of the village of Cree. People visit each of the blessed wells on certain days. They perform rounds at Our Lady's well from the fifteenth of August to the octave of that day. The time for performing rounds at St. Margaret's well is from the twentieth to the twenty ninth of July.
