Caerigkennan, Carraig Grianain — "Eockof the Sunny Chamber" (or 

 " Grrianan's Rock ") ; but 1 got also Oarrig Ui Ghrianain (I suspect that

On this townland, within a demesne, where it could be more easily 

 preserved in decent order, stands the ancient church with its graveyard, in 

 a sadly neglected condition. The walls, which are of great thickness (4 feet), 

 stand to their original height. There is trace of former di\ ision into nave 

 and chancel. In the south side wall is the pointed doorway of cut stone, 

 chamfered. A pointed window lighted the building from the east, but this 

 has been modernised. In the south wall is a second pointed window, also 

 modernised. 



On the townland, but not close to the church, is a reputed holy well, at 

 which "rounds" were formerly made. It is now known as " Betty's Well," 

 on Mr. Martin's lands. 



Within a few paces of the church stands a small castle or peel-tower in a 

 good state of preservation. This appears to have belonged in the mid- 

 sixteenth century to one Christopher Lombard, by whom or by whose 

 ancestors it was probably erected. From the Lombards it passed to the 

 Sarsfields (from whom the place was named Sarsfieldstown), and from the 

 latter again to the Wallings or Walshes. Area, 377 a.
