    (continued from previous page)
    There are other ordinary wells too namely tuites which is noted for butter making, and Haffords and Melias called Kiná, which never runs dry.
    There is a holy wll in belbridge in the Co. Kildare known as St Patricks well. It is under a beautiful hill called Ardross. On the left hand side of the road between belbridge and stafon, there is a house built of stone on the land of Mr Shaw and it was called St Patricks house.
    This is a story in connection with the well.
    St Patrick was in ardross one evening and he asked for a drink.
