window has two ogee headed lights, the shaft entire ; the splay- 

 has a neatly built semicircular head. Traces of the altar 

 remain. In the north wall is a tomb of very late decorated 

 Gothic, with a mitred head, at the apex of the arch, two tre- 

 foil-headed arches, and a quatrefoil. There was a somewhat 

 similar monument, with twisted columns, on the south side, 

 but it has fallen. The chancel arch is rude and pointed, 

 13 feet 9 inches wide. The south porch has two plain pointed 

 doors ; there was a bell chamber on the west gable. Founder, 

 Macreiche, c. 550; his mediaeval "Life" says he built it in 

 his old age. " Kilmaccrik," 1302. Monuments, O'Heo, 1642 ;

27. Ejllaspuglojstan, Sheet 15. — Parish church. Totally levelled 



before 1839. Founder, Bishop Lonan, a fiiend of St. Maccreiche, 

 to whom the well is dedicated, c. 550 ; " Killesconolan," 1302,

28. KiLSHANNT, Sheet 15. — Parish church, 75 feet 10 inches by 20 feet 



5 inches. Portions of the sides date probably about 1080 ; the 

 north door and a slit window in the south wall belong to that 

 period. The rest is late — the pointed west door, and the more 

 eastern of the south windows (with three trefoil heads though 

 the shafts and middle blocks lie on the ground) are of the later 

 fifteenth century, and the eastern window still later, with two 

 interlacing shafts and circular head pieces. The altar exists ; 

 there is a flat-arched long tomb recess to the right of it (in the 

 north wall), and a round-headed ambrey to the south. Founder, 

 perhaps Seanach, probably Senan's brother, 550. Traditional 

 patron, Cuanna, identity uncertain ; the saint's bell, now 

 called (like the holy well) after St. Augustine, is in the British 

 Museum^ ; " Kilsanyg," 1302. In later times it was a cell of 

 Corcomroe, or even a Cistercian Abbey, for Florence, its abbot, 

 was bishop of Kilfenora, in 1273.^ Monuments, Thynne, 1717- 

 1752; Crowe, 1799. Pescription, Keane, p. 374, E.S.A.I., 

 1900 (with plan), p. 280.
