St. Patrick stopped in Aghagower during his pilgrimage from Ballintubber to the summit of Croagh Patrick.
"St. Patrick stopped here to bless the wells, and immersed in the well's healing waters, he spent the night praying and singing. A sacred tree lies at the foot of the well and soil from its base is said to have healing powers." [The tree is no longer there.]
