WESTMEATH. 



Carboniferous. 



Cullion. Two miles from Mullingar. — Rather hard and 

 splintery for chiselled work ; very durable. Used in the Bishop's 

 Palace, and in the Asylum, Mullingar, for walling, rubble, and 

 part of the dressed work ; but in both buildings most of the stones 

 for cut purposes were procured either from Creeve {Co. Longford), 

 or Eoss {Co. Meath).
