were visible, which is true of it, and not of the alleged eastern sites 

 (see Trip. Life, vol. i., p. 207).^ Fahric—T'hQ gables had fallen 

 before 1840 ; the sides, 41 feet to south, and 46 feet to north, remained. 

 In the latter were two doors, the west pointed and closed, the other 

 broken and nearly demolished. The walls were 12 feet by 3 feet ; the 

 upper part rebuilt with corbels and cornice in fifteenth century ; the 

 south door has since fallen ; part of a south window, the shaft of 

 another, and parts of the pointed door remain. The Gothic west door 

 stood in 1827 (Eitzgerald, p. 366). The monuments of the Burkes 

 and Griffins, 1777 and 1798, stand to the west. This stands on a high 

 hill overlooking the Shannon from Cratloe to the sea, and the plains 

 of Clare and Limerick. Down the slope is Suidheachan Phatruic" or 

 Patrick's seat," the remains of a small cist of six stones, evidently 

 prehistoric, though this is denied (O.S.L., 8, p. 13). A. relic " Mias 

 Phadruig " was pledged to Roche of Limerick by " Itary (Seville) of 

 the dish," its hereditary keeper, long before 1840.
