St Patrick’s Well, Boyle
Legend has it that St. Patrick created St. Patrick’s Well when he and his band of followers visited the Boyle area and camped near Assylinn. “Having been refused water for their horses, St. Patrick created the well so that there would always be water available for man and beast in the area.” The legend says that his and other horses were stolen during the night resulting in St. Patrick’s Curse that “Boyle will never prosper”. Maybe the time has come for the Curse to be lifted, and Boyle will prosper at some time in the future
