 containing about 1 20 A. 



Mt. Catherine, Tornog— " Limekiln." 



The CM. gives an "abbey in ruins." There are some nondescript 

 remains at the spot (James Cotter's farm), but evidence is entirely wanting 

 that they are the remains of an abbey. Beside the alleged monastic remains 

 are some insignificant traces of a small castle. Local tradition asserts that 

 neither monastery nor castle was ever occupied or perhaps finished. On 

 Barry's farm was a circular lios, of medium size, now demolished. Area, 

 319 a.

 The O.M. records four lioses, of which three — all circular in plan — still 

 survive. Two of these — of medium size, and with ramparts 5 feet high — 

 stand on Ed. Barry's and Michael Eeardon's holdings respectively. The 

 third, on Michael Keeffe's, is a more ambitious specimen ; it is of large size, 

 and its rampart is 9 feet in height. There were two further (unrecorded) 

 lioses, of which no traces now remain. There was also, on Barry's farm, a 

 stone alignment, consisting of three great dallans ; but, very unfortunately, 

 this also has been destroyed. Area, in two divs.. 1,352 a.
