150 Mr. PETRIE'S Inquiry into the Origin and 



Thus translated by Mageoghegan : 



" A. D. 1013, [correctly 1021]. Ardmach, the third of theKallends of June, was burnt from the 

 one end to the other, save only the Library ; all the houses were burnt, the Great Church, the 

 STEEPLE, the Church of the Sabhall, the pulpitt or chair of preaching, with much gold, silver and 

 books, were burnt by the Danes." 



In the next entry, relating to Armagh, in the Annals of the Four Masters, 

 the churches are noticed under the name of tempuill: 



" A. D. 1074. Gpomachct DO lopccao oia TTIaipc tap m-6ealcame, co n-a uilib cemploib, 

 7 cloccaib, eiccip pnic 7 cpiam." 



Thus translated by Dr. O'Conor : 



" A. D. 1074. Ardmacha combusta die Martis post Baalis ignem, (i. e. post Kalendas Maias,) 

 cum omnibus suis Ecclesiis et Campanilibus, tarn Arx quam ternarias divisiones Civitatis." 



And thus by Colgan : 



" A. D. 1074. Ardmacha tota cum omnibus Ecclesiis 8f campanis, cum arce $ reliqua vrbis parte 

 incendio vastata, die Martis postfestum SS. Philippi fy lacobi." Trias Thaum. p. 298. 



At the year 1085 mention is made in the Annals of Ulster and of the Four 

 Masters of the church of St. Bridget, at Armagh, usually called Cill Bhrighide 

 and TempullBhri glide, which, according to Colgan, was erected in Patrick's 

 time, under the name of Regies Bhrighde; and at the years 1092 and 1093 

 the churches of Armagh are again mentioned in the Annals of the Four Masters, 

 under the name of tempuill. 



At the year 1101 the great church of Armagh is called damhliac in the 

 Annals of Ulster, and doimliag in those of the Four Masters.
