   On Mr. Brophy's farm in Kellitstown Parish of Rathoe, there is Holy Well known as St Patrick's Well. A great number of people have been cured at this well. They drink the water. There are three ash-trees growing near it. There is an old story about a woman who went to the well to wash her apron. When she was washing it widened out and rolled into a great roll white linen and she never wanted clothes after. People visit this well on St Patrick's day and recite the rosary there.
