St Colmcille in Swords
- In 560A.D. St Colmcille came to Swords and founded a monastery on the site where St Columba’s church is today.
- While in Swords, St Colmcille was said to have stepped from the Round Tower to the well at the end of the road. When his feet touched the ground a well sprang up and St Colmcille’s toe prints are said to be still visible on the last step leading down into the well.
