    CHADWICKS WELL
    This well is in a field about 300 yds from the road on the Golden-Balygriffin road about 1/3 mile from Golden. It is supposed to have changed from the other side of the road long ago.
    The story goes that a woman used to go "bittling" clothes in the well and some unseen hand did this to prevent her. The water of this well is excellent drinking water. The well is a remarkable one cased in cement and paled in, in the form of an hexagon.
