 Father White notes them as forgotten in 1650. 



259. Ardpatrick (56). — A parish.^ W. de Eurgo granted it as part 

 of Fontemel, 1199 (C.S.P.I., vol. i., ISTo. 95). It appears in the lists 

 of 1201, 1291, 1302, 1410, 1418, 1591, 1615, and 1633. Records 

 are fairly numerous. Malachi, its rector, swore obedience to the 

 bishop, 1263 (E.B.L., p. 44) ; Philip Harold was vicar, 1299 (Plea E. 

 Cal., vol. v., p. 94); Robert f. Henry robbed the church, 1318 {ih., 

 123 of xi Ed. II., m. 34). It was a small monastery, and owned 

 Ballingowsse, Ballycowsing, Ballynanynye, and Balligertane,^ " nup. 

 converb. dom. relig. de Ardpatrick dissolut.," 1589 (Inq., 19). The 

 " converb." also held the hill, 30 acres of great measure, and 21 

 of small. The Langanes were hereditary coarbs (2 Inquisitions, 

 xxxix Eliz.). The Down Survey (A. 57) gives a sketch of the church 

 and tower, Upon ye Ard Patricke are ye walls of a church and a 

 watch tower," 1656. The round tower had three storeys, and a broken 

 top.^ Tradition, even in the eleventh century, said that the hill was 

 granted to St. Patrick on condition that he should remove the moun- 

 tain of Cenn Febraith. This miracle made the cleft of Belach Legtha 

 (Trip. Life, p. 209). Fabric — It stands on the shoulder of a steep 

 ridge, with high ranges to the south. The ends had fallen in 1840. 

 It was 85 feet by 24 feet. There was a north door 21^ feet from 

 west, with a flat splay arch, and round-headed arch of gritstone, 

 outside in which is set a later pointed door of limestone. In the south 

 wall a deep recess, with a pointed arch, lay towards the east. At the 

 north-east angle projected a south wing, 25 feet by 184- feet ; the walls, 

 3 feet 8 inches, now nearly levelled. Tlie walls are of large blocks, 

 and project 6^ feet beyond the west end ; they are 18 feet by 5 feet. 

 The broken round tower stood 39 feet from the nortli-west corner. It 

 is 56 feet in circumference, and of good masonry, 11 feet high to 

 north and east, and 6 feet to west ; it had been badly breached when 

 I saw it in 1877. Fitzgerald says that it fell a few years before 1827. 

 In 1657 it was three storeys high, but broken. It was filled with
