When describing Barony church (KK009-013001-) in Ballyconra townland, O'Kelly (1969, 53) mentions, 'St. Brigid's Well at which a pattern was held on the saint's feast day is south of the church'. When inspected in 1987 there was no visible trace at ground level of a well. A small cattle trampled pool was located c. 30m SE of the graveyard (KK009-013002-). The precise location of this well S of the church is unknown.
