 1 and 12. Fahric — The monastic church calls for more elaborate 

 description than has been published, or than space allows. It is a 

 late Gothic building, 113^ feet long, 29^ feet at the west, and 27 feet 

 at the east face. The chancel 49 feet by 15 feet, and a nave 33 feet to 

 34 feet by 23 feet 4 inches. It has a residence 22 feet by 12 feet 

 at the west end, and a small tower to the north of the last, divided 

 by string courses and with battlements and small opes. The chancel 

 arch is defaced ; the east window has two pointed lights,^ and is 

 flanked by large, stepped buttresses. (See also O.S.L. 9, p. 29).^ 



36. The second church lies to the south-east of the last. The east 

 gable and sides remain. It is 14 feet by 12^ feet, the west end nearly 

 levelled ; the east window-slit and two broken south windows remain. 



37. The third and oldest of the churches lies to the north, and is

^ Ballyhibewi, or Eallyhibeli, a family of O'Hibyle dwelt on Mungret Manor, 

 1336 (De Rupefort's Rental, B.B.L.). Perhaps the Gortnehowyle, not far from 

 St. John's Gate, in the Perambulation deed, 31st Aug., 7 James L, 1609, derives 

 its name from the same family.
