angle, where stands a piece of qnoin, 12 feet high by 9 feet long. The founda- 

 tions of the chancel arch are cleai'ly traceable. As evidenced by the remaining 

 fragment, the masonry, at least of the nave, was somewhat peculiar — of flag- 

 stones, set on edge. In Quirke's farmyard, near by. are two magnificent 

 pillar-stones, one (8 feet by 3 feet by 9 inches) standing : the other (nearly as 

 tall) prostrate. In a field of the same faim stands another piUar-stone 

 (5 feet by 4 inches), and on Egan's holding there is yet a fourth specimen, now 

 only 3 feet by 3 feet above ground. Near the chuich ruin, to the east, and 

 on verge of a bog, lies a large perforated millstone; noted also by Windele 

 (Windele iiss., E.LA., voL sdi, I. 3'. Across the bog, and leading to the 

 church, are the remains of an ancient causeway, the Cliadh Buidhe.

On the present townland is a very remarkable holy weU — 

 St. Bartholomew's. This latter will be found at bottom of a glen, and 

 surrounded by a wall of modem masoniy, but not roofed over. Above the 

 doorway, in a pediment, is set an iron cross, and beneath the latter is an 

 inscribed tablet. 



The basin is oval — some thi'ee yards in longer, and two in shorter, 

 diameter. Around hang, or are deposited, votives of the usual kind, and 

 devotions are paid on August 24th. On the townland there is also, on 

 Arnold's farm, a small Uos site. Area, 106 A.
