There are seven wells in this parish connected with St. Pecaun, one special one being in Mr Bourke's field in the townland of Kilmoyler, in the Barony of Clanwilliam, at the bottom of the Galtee Mountains with a few very old white thorn trees growing beside it. There is a 'pattern' held there on the 1st of August and from the 1st to the 9th of August rounds are performed there and many prayers said at different place.
