- One day about 100 years ago a woman was drawing water from a well in Granstown. A place about 4 miles to the east of Rathdowney. A priest came along and asked her for a drink. She refused so he told her that before that night there would be too much water there. That evening the well overflowed and covered the whole village including the woman who refused the priest the drink. Anyone who goes out in a boat can see the remains of the village under the water.(continues on next page)
