from Senchan, presumably founder of the church, it does not share with any 

 townland. Unfortunately there is nothing by which we can identify this 

 particular Senchan. 



The church stood on the townland of Ballinaltig, and, like the 

 generality of Barrymore churches, it has left no remains. The old grave- 

 yard, about an acre in extent, has had its surface much elevated by inter- 

 ments ; there is no monument or inscription of special interest, if, perhaps, 

 we except one (a table-tomb), which commemorates the original Father Prout 

 (1757-1832), a man who won fame without doing anything to deserve it. 



The Irish form of the parish name seems to be Cill Seanachain.

There are three Hoses, all of medium size and circular plan. One is on 

 P. Condon's farm; this, which is now partly destroyed, had ramparts 10 feet 

 high, and it is said to have been used as a Mass place in the Penal days. 

 The remaining two forts are on Twomey's and Lord Barrymore's farms 

 respectively. Each of these lioses has ramparts about 3 feet high, and Lord 

 Barrymore's has souterrains. Windele (mss. E.I.A., vol. xii, I. 3) refers to 

 a rock basin " about two fields from Dr. Barry's house."
