Sixmilebridge (rebuilt), just before 1837; TuUa, 1812; "KiUard," 

 i.e. Dunbeg, 1807. I may also add Ennis new cburcb, consecrated 

 30tlL Is'oT., 1871. In only one case (Kilmurry), however, was a 

 mediaeTal churcli destroyed. 



The modem Eoman Catholic churches are not recorded in any 

 accessible authority, so I hare not been hitherto able to procure the 

 dates of any except the cathedi-al of St. Peter and Paul in Ennis, 

 1843 (consecrated Eeb. 26th, 1843, by Eight Ptev. Dr. Kennedy), the 

 old chapel was in Chapel-lane, a wing was added, 1773 ; Corofin, 1822 ; 

 Clonlara, 1815, (rebuilt) 1875; ITountshannon, 1836; Tomgraney, 

 1893; and Kilshanny, 1896. 



The Presbyterian Chui'ch of Ennis was built, 1855 and 1856 ; and 

 Dysert IToraYian Chui'ch, 1793. In none of these cases was an 

 ancient site affected. 



Ttpes of the Chiteches. 



Omitting the cathedrals and post-Xorman monastic churches, we 

 may class the ancient places of worship as follows : — 



1. Dry Stone Oratories. — So far as I know only one exists, on 

 Bishop's Island near Eilkee. (See illustration, p. 166, infra.) 



2. Small OUong Oratories (in which mortar is used, and in which 

 the west door has a lintel and inclined jambs). — Termon Cronan ; 

 Tomfinlough ; Kilrusb, near Limerick ; Clonloghan. (Illustrations, 

 Plate XL) 



3. Large OUong Churches (of similar type). — Templemore, KeUs 

 (Plate IX.); Tomgi-aney (Plate XIII.) ; Scattery, "Cathedral," and 

 Temple Knockanangel (Illustration, p. 170, infra), and remains 

 embodied in Kilmoon, Ptathborney, Kilshanny, and Kilmacreehy. 



4. Stone Roofed Oratories (with overcroft). — St. Molua's on Friar's 

 Island (Illusti-ation, p. 159, infra.); St. Elannan's, Killaloe, 



5. Churches tcith Nave and Chancel (early and plain. In most cases 

 the chancel is evidently an afterthought). — Oughtmama gi-eat church ; 

 JSToughaval (Illusti-ation, Plate YIII.) ; Kilcorney ; St. Caimin's, Inis- 

 caltra; Kilrush in Moyarta and Eathblamaic. In some cases the 

 structui'e has been largely rebuilt, as at Dysert O'Dea. 



6. TJie OUong Plain C'/mrc/i (with arched door, &c.) — Oughtmama 

 2 and 3, Kilcredaun, Tomfinlough parish chiuxh, DromcliJf, Doora, 

 Inchicronan, Killilagh, Kilmacduan and Kilnaboy. _ (Plates IX., X.) 



7. The Decorated Romanesque Churches. — These occurred at Killaloe 

 Cathedi'al (door and fragments exist), and the Chui'ch of Baptism,
