    St Gobnet was born in Bally ferriter. One night, she had a vision of a white deer and she made up her mind to travel all over the country until she would see 9 white deer, and there to build a Church. After travelling for some time she came to a place where she saw 9 white deer. There she built her church and the place was ever after called Cill Gobnet after her.
