(1). This is the well-known rock beside the public road from Kilkenny to Kells, 

 in the townhuul of Kilmogg or Ivacocourse, and close to the bomuls of the town- 

 land of Knocklegan. In later times it was known as GlCin-I'uAdraig, or St. 

 Patrick's Knees, because it was supposed to bear the marks of the saint's knees as 

 he knelt thereon in prayer. From a whitethorn growing over the rock and bearing 

 ex votes of pieces of cloth, linen, &c., the spot is now always called " Patrick's 

 Bush."
