these form a north and south cross; while an oval cup lies a little to the 
north-east of it, and two cups to the south-east of the stones. I think 
it remarkable finding cups in such a hard stone, as in the various 
places I have visited such hard stones are left uninscribed. A great 
treasure is said to be concealed hereabouts. Various persons have 
visited it at night to dig. A member of the last exploring party told 
me, that after they had commenced their work they found that an 
awful-looking bull was superintending them, and immediately they 
all ran away. 
It may be of importance to mention that tradition states that this 
neighbourhood was visited by St. Patrick, who founded an ecclesi- 
astical settlement in the present townland of Coolafancy, a little inside 
the bounds of the county Wicklow. The ancient church, as also the 
parish, is called Crosspatrick. A few miles to the north-east of the 
church, and also just inside the mearing, is Toberpatrick, a well 
dedicated to this saint. <A visit of St. Patrick to the place may 
possibly imply that the locality was a noted one in Pagan times. 
Other structures, but more or Jess removed from the Croaghan 
Kinshella range, which may be recorded, are :— 
Morysower, eastward of Carnew, a little inside the county of 
Wexford.—Immediately north of the county road, to the west of the 
townland, there is a circular structure, a little higher than the level 
of the field, which might be either the site of a rath or of a moat. 
Between twenty-five and thirty years ago a chamber was discovered 
in it, which is said to have had steps leading down to it, and to have 
had a stone table in the centre: the entrance to the chamber is now 
closed up, and it could not be explored. 
Umryear Moats.—These lie respectively a little south and south- 
west of Carnew, in the townland of Umrygar, county Wicklow. That 
to the westward is very perfect, while that to the east is nearly all 
carried away, the gravel of which it was formed having been used for 
road metal. 
Garry Hasten Moat.—Wexford, Sheet 4. The site of this moat 
is on the banks of the Derry river, close to Abbeystown ford, and 
nearly a mile north-east of Clonegal, The moat has now been all 
carried away, the only remaining trace of it being a slight circular 
rise in the field. An abbey formerly existed immediately to the east 
of it; but the new road now obliterates the last trace of it. Nothing 
further about the moat or abbey appears to be known in the neigh- 
bourhood. 
Srranaketty Moat.—About two and a-half miles west of Tinna- 
hely, near the north mearing of the townland of Stranakelly, Wicklow, 
Sheet 43, there is about one-half of a moat now remaining; it is 
being gradually carted away to spread on the neighbouring boggy 
land. The outside portion for about a foot in depth is ashy, having 
burnt stones in it; but we could not learn if any urns or other 
sepulchral relics had been found in connexion with it, although in the 
tillage around it we picked up what appeared to be small fragments of
