Parish of Pv,athcoemack. 



This is one of the three very large parishes of the barony, its area running 

 to nearly 14,000 acres, about two-thirds of which is mountain. The 

 antiquities are not important. Early church sites are rather numerous, and 

 lioses and pillar-stones occur with average frequency. The parish name is 

 not ecclesiastical, but derived from the townland on which stood the ancient 

 church. Of this last, by the way, not a stone remains upon a stone. It 

 appears as Rathcrum in the Taxation of Pope Nicholas, 1303.
