A long time ago when St. Patrick came to Wicklow. There was a woman who sat on a stone in a field up the Green Hill Road. She had a cup, one side of it was magic, anyone who asked her for a drink she gave them this side and he or she died immediately. St. Patrick heard of it, one day he went up, and asked for a drink, she gave him this side but he said "No thank you" and he hit the cup on the stone.
After this it was called St. Patrick's Well about 1506 year ago. Now it is owned by the Dominican Convent. You can still see the water running in the field on the Green Hill Road.
