  2. St Patrick's well is in a field of Shecleton's in the townland of Maio. It is situated beside a big hill. And it is surrounded and covered by a stone wall, and a big tree. The people say that St Patrick visited it when he was coming from Moybolugue. The well is visited on the seventeenth of March. The name of the well is Padráigs well. And the name of the field is Padráig's field.
