This well is called Saint [Pd] Patricks well becayse there are marks of his knees and of his staff on a stone near by. The water is used for house-hold purposes there is a story about this well.
Long ago there was a fish in this well the fish was in the well for a long time; and no one could catch it.
One day a man caught this fish he was very glad and he took it home for a meal, but when he put it on pan and left it on the fire for a while when he came back there was nothing on the pan but blood no fish was in it since.
