   About a half a mile from Kilsheelan on the left bank of the river Suir, is an old well locally known as St. Patrick's Well. The water from this well flows into the river Suir, and the stream so formed, is also known as St. Patricks Stream. A large flat stone or flag is said to have been removed from the well, by the Burke family who lived in the neighbourhood. It is said that when St. Patrick knelt down to drink water from the well the marks of his knees and hands remained on the flag. Information supplied by Mrs Mahony Poulaherry
