fluting. Founder uncertain, perhaps Caeicle. " Kilquydi," 

 1302; Cil Caeidi, 1599 ("Annals, Four Masters"). Monument, 

 Mullin, 1706. Description, Dwyer, p. 498. (See illustration, 

 Plate XII., fig. 2.) 



40. CtrsHACOKRA, Sheet 7. — Kilkeedy Parish. Some remains of an 



alleged convent. 



41. Templemoke, or "mook" (Kells), Sheet 17. — KiUceedy Parish, 



51 feet by 20 feet 7 inches. A very early church ; the east and 

 north sides have fallen. The west door has a lintel and inclined 

 jambs ; the south window is rudely built, with a semicircular head 

 of one block. A souterrain remains near the east end. Descrip- 

 tion, K.S.A.I., 1894, p. 289. (See illustration, Plate YIII.) 



42. St. Catheexne's (Kells), Sheet 17. — Kilheedy Parish. Entirely 



levelled, and the graveyard is an orchard. Aenghus O'Daly, in 

 1617,^ probably alludes to it when reproaching the people of 

 Cealla (Kells) for "digging in the churchyard in the snow." 

 Description, Dr. G. Macnamara, P.S.A.I., 1900, p. 31. 



43. Templenadeirka, Sheet 18. — Kilheedy Parish. The east gable and 



fragments of the side wall remain. The east window has two 

 plain ogee heads ; the shaft is gone. The building seems later 

 than 1500, and evidently had a well-cut pointed south door, 

 now lying in fragments among the graves. 



44. Skaghavanoo, Sheet 18. — Kilheedy Parish. Only a foundation; 



the head of a bossed Celtic cross and the holy bush which gives 

 the place its name, remain near a large rath, with a souterrain. 

 Description, Dr. G. Macnamara, E.S.A.I., 1900, p. 31 (illustra- 

 tion). 



45. Kiltachtmoee, Sheet 10. — Kilkeedy Parish. Only part of the east 



gable remains, with very archaic masonry. 0' Curry gives the 

 ancient name as " Cil taice," without date or stated authority. 



46. KiLNABOY, Sheet 17. — Parish church. 63 feet by 20 feet 3 inches 



The north and west walls are of early masonry, probably of the 

 eleventh century. The low north door and tomb recess may be of 

 the fourteenth century. There is a perfect sheelanagig over the 

 south door. The east window is late. At the top is a small 

 vesical ope, then two pear-shaped opes ; below are three round- 

 headed lights resting on a cross-bar ; below this again are fom-
