180. Same, Oratoey. — It consists of a nave and chancel, 23 feet 6 inclies 



by 12 feet 10 inclies, and 8 feet 9 inches by 10 feet 6 inches. 

 The chancel had been levelled to the ground before my first visit 

 in 1878, but was partly rebuilt by the Board of Public "Works. 

 They excavated the site, and disclosed the base of a rich 

 Romanesque chancel arch, dating about 1100, with clustered 

 pillars and chevrons (Plate XI., fig. 11). The west gable seems 

 much older. 



181. Temple Shenajj". — Itconsistsof a nave and chancel 23 feet lOinches 



by 16 feet 9 inches, and 10 feet 10 inches by 10 feet 9 inches. 

 The east gable leans outward. There was a chancel arch, with 

 clustered pillars, now fallen. The south door is pointed, and the 

 ruin bears little mark of any great antiquity. 



182. Late Oratoey. — 21 feet 8 inches by 11 feet 2 inches. It stands 



close to the west gable of the last, and is plainly built of flag- 

 stones ; the walls are only 5 to 6 feet high. At the west end is 

 a scored stone, supposed to have been an ogam inscription, and 

 a beautiful Celtic cross-slab, with Irish inscriptions : — '' Op t)0 

 moenach aice mogpoin," and "Op t)0 moinach." 



183. Temple axed na nAingel. — 40 feet 6 inches by 16 feet 8 inches. 



A very early church ; the foundations and the south wall alone

remain ; the wall is of fine masonry, of unusual size ; the south 

 window is defaced, and a rude south door has been inserted. 

 It is mentioned in " Vita S. Senani."
