Obtained from Mr Traynor, Toher, Bailieboro' - There is a holy well in Corramada rocks in the parish of Killenhere in the field owned by Mr. Andrew Fegan, people still visit this holy well in September, they light candles on the rocks around the well and recite the Rosary, there is a story told that the rock beside the well was use as a mass rock in the penal days, a man who was a cripple was cured at this well lately, he left his crutch behind him at the well and it is still to be seen, it is also said that there is a trout in the well, people who are cured at this well leave a ribbon beside the well; the water from this well is not used for household purposes, the people drink the water for cures or rub it on the affected part.
