Meath went to Lady Well, in the grounds of Slane Castle. They started out so as to be at the well at 12 mid-night. They prayed and watched there till morning, and washed their infirm limbs. and their sores, in the water.
A few years ago, Lady Cunningham refused to let the pilgrims enter the Castle grounds. In the morning when the time for washing their sores came the well had disappeared from the castle grounds, and had sprung up put on the side of the public road.
