About half a mile to the south-east of this grave yard, there is a holy well called Tobar Chriost, i.e. the well of Christ, at which stations were performed about 20 years since on the eve of St. John’s and for the succeeding week.

No part of the old church now remains, but the old grave yard is very extensive and oldlooking, and there was a pattern held there annually on the 15th of August until the year 1798, when it was abolished.

The signification of this name is very doubtful as no Irish authority for the original spelling has yet been discovered, If we were allowed to indulge in conjecture, and, like the Ulster king to take the word asunder in an ad libitum manner, we would venture to conjecture that it means the church of St. Hugh- Cill Naoimh Aodha- but there is no tradition now in existence in the country to prove or disprove this conjecture.
