Kileenoghty, with which Keeves, however, identifies it. Cnockgro- 

 massill, 1584 (O'Brien's Inq.). The castle and chapel stood in repair 

 to the south-west of Cnockgromassell, 1657 (D.S. (A) 21, (B) 24). 

 Fabric — I found what seemed a rude and featureless oblong ivied 

 church there in 1876 and 1881, but made no notes or sketches; it is 

 not marked on the 0. S. maps of 1840 and 1900. 



92. Caherass (21). — In same. About 1251 John Mandrens made 

 quit claim to Dysert Enegus, and Cathyrasse, and in 1256 Bishop 

 Robert leased the latter, with its fishery, also in 1272 (B.B.L., 

 ITo. xlvii., Ixi.) ; Chapel of Say, Cathiorassa, 1410; Cap. Say, 

 in rect. de Cromoth, 1418; Carassie, 1601; Capella Say, 1615 b. 

 Eeeves, however, identifies it with Dunkepchy.^ The chapel was 

 closed after its desecration by the suicide in it of its chaplain 

 (ritzgerald, i., p. 332). Fabric — The ivied walls stand on the bank 

 of the Maigue, thickly overgrown.

 tainy, or Ballythristan, 1410; Ecc. Yille Trostanii, 1418; t)unna- 

 TTibeann, 1562 (A.E.M.). The name is derived from the Thurstau, or 

 Trostan, family : see Croom, 1323. Fabric — " Teampul na Trionoid," 

 locally, has a nave and chancel 43 feet by 21 feet, and 23 feet by 

 16 feet, of rough masonry, with segmental-arched doors in the sides. 

 The chancel arch is pointed, corbels for a gallery at west end of
