    A woman who lived near this well tried to pollute it by washing baby's clothes in it, but she did not succeed because the next morning the well was away in another field.
    Near this well is a big rock which is shaped like a knee in the centre. This rock is called St Patrick's Knee. If you have a pain your knee and place it in this rock it will be cured immediately.
