- There is a blessed well in Coskean. It is called Saint Factna's. Once upon a time there were people living near it and it was a Sunday morning, and they had no water. They went out to this well for water. They put down the water to boil and it did not boil. There was an old woman living in the house and she asked them where did they get the water and they told her they got in the blessed well. She told them to put it back again. Then they put it back and they got water out of another well and it boiled.
