  1. My aunt told me the following:-
    There was a well in Dowth called St Shanaghan's well. It was near Dowth Moat in the same field.
    One day there was a woman washing tripe in the well and it disappeared and went down to the Boyne. A tree that was beside it also disappeared.It is leaning across the bank of the Boyne now. There is only a track of the well to be seen now.
