- (continued from previous page)the East side of the Avenue close to a small river which runs through the Park. Some people believe that the original St Catherines Well was on the West side of the Avenue opposite the present well. The well was attached to the old Monastery and it is on its ground. There is a drinking vessel at the well and people passing often stop and take a drink. There are steps of large flat stones leading down to it as it is down in a hollow. There is a door on the well made of wood and wire, and it can be opened by anyone desiring to have a drink.
There is another well on the South Strand called "Tubber Colleen," (* St Mac Cuilín, Lusk) but no saints name connected with it. If a stranger takes a drink out of this well it is said that he will make his home in Rush.
