Westropp — On the Churches of County Clare. 171 



184. KmsTAirAEBHE. — 67 feet 10 inches by 18 feet 6 inclies. A late 



mediaeval church, probably of the fifteenth century. The east 

 window has a moulded, double light (the shaft lost). There 

 was a lateral aisle to the north, with plain, pointed arches ; the 

 west end has great stepped buttresses. The present burial 

 groimd of Scattery adjoins it, and gives its name to the ruin. 



185. AxLEGED Site. — A graveyard undercut by the sea lies south-west 



from the] last, and is said to have been the site of the seventh 

 church. The slab on which St. Cannara sailed to Scattery was 

 shown on the shore near the fort. There was also a cairn called 

 " Glun Senain," where the saint used to kneel. 



186. Shankill, Sheet 67. — Kilrush Parish. Has the foundations of 



a chui'ch. 



In closing this survey I may add that I have had to depend 

 entirely on others in the cases of Killard, Killimer, Kilrush, Kilmihil, 

 Kilfeddain, Killoffin, and Kilkieran (all being along the Shannon). 

 Some of these I have; seen, but could not sketch and examine. 

 Similarly Clonrush, Kiltoraght, Kilconry, and Moy lay beyond my 

 reach ; so if I have erred in their description, I have no means of cor- 

 rection. It is, I fear, too probable that in a work extending over 

 24 years, as time and opportunity occuiTcd, error, misunderstanding, 

 and forgetfulness may have led to other and less excusable mistakes. 

 I hope these may be detected and forgiven, and that the Suiwey may 

 help to the complete study of the numerous churches of Thomond 

 beyond the Shannon.
