the Remains of an antient Temple ^Ireland.,

ReadNov. 10 . jk $ I never met with any fatif 
1 743* factory Account of thefe antient 
Temples, \ imagined that a fhort Account of this one, 
which I met with in the County of Corke > in the 
Parifh of Kilgarrijfe , when I was upon a parochial 
Vifitation, would not be unentertaining to Tour 
Lordjhip ; it hands about io Miles from Bandon to 
the South-weft. 
As to the Drawing Tab. II. Fig* i. the Ground-plan 
is exaft, but the Upright was not taken upon the Place, 
but drawn from my Defcription of it, given to Mils 
Buflje, a young Lady who is related to my Wife, and 
was then in the Houfe with me. It contains the 
Reprefentation of a very antient Heathen Temple, 
and the Burial-place of fome Perfon of great Re- 
nown, before the eretting of covered Temples was 
made ufe of, in this Part of the World, or perhaps in 
any other Part of the World, except Judaea. Whicn 
fort of Places of Devotion feem to be the mod antient 
of any that we have Accounts of in Hiftory. For 
Temples were originally all open, and thence received 
their Name, according to Varro[Lib. 6. deling. Lat ,)
