Parish of Gortroe.

 townlands to north of latter. The parish gets its name from a townland

 parish is popularly known as Bartlemy, and sometimes Irish speakers refer 

 to it simply as Paroiste an Tobair.

 dimensions are 48 feet by 20 feet. Both gables stand ; but part of one (south) 

 side wall has fallen. The west doorway has been closed up and obstructed
