On the shores of Lough Neagh at Churchtown Point lie the
ruins of an ancient Irish Church and St Olcans Holy Well. There
is a tradition that states that St Olcan’s well was blessed with
healing properties by St Olcan who reputedly lies buried at
Cranfield’s 13th Century church in earth brought from Rome.
So it was deemed a doubly holy place. The well produces fine
spring water and amber coloured crystals which were sought
to protect women during childbirth, men from drowning and
homes from fire and burglary.
