Bl.^'Kllbarry : Mr. George A. P. Kelly has recently sent me notes. 

 Some old men showed him where a "steeple" had stood on 

 this site ; the same probably that was pointed out to O'Donovan 

 in 1837 (Ordnance Survey letters). The tower was demolished 

 to build a stable. Several of the blocks, dressed to a curve 

 about 18 or 19 feet in diameter, remain set as sills and a 

 seat in a cottage built over fifty years ago. Near it is the 

 ancient church, retaining its round corner shafts, and a 

 romanesque fluted capital, though now defaced.
