- Out on Downpatrick Head, Ballycastle, Co Mayo is a blessed well. It is known as St. Patrick's well. It is said that St. Patrick blessed it. It is a nice neat well surrounded by stones on the east side of the Down. People when they vist the well drink some of its water. People perform stations at this well for three days before the last Sunday in July which is called " Garland Sunday ". People that drink water out of that well leave something such as a penny or some other coin, a pin, or a button, under a flag which is beside the well.
