PREFACE,
THE present Work is executed upon the same Plan, as the Author's two former
Volumes of THE TOPOGRAPHY OF ENGLAND. The favourable reception of which,
by the Public, has excited his sincere gratitude. Whilst his experience in Research
has greatly diminished the difficulty of his Undertaking.
The Kingdom of Great Britain having beeen recently united with Ireland a
perfect uniformity with the preceding Volumes is not to be expected, particularly
in that kind of information which incidentally arises from Returns ordained by
Law, or directed by Government, or either House of Parliament. Of this kind are
the Poor Returns of 1803, arising from the legal Provision for the Maintenance of
the Poor : a Policy singular and peculiar to England, and not likely to be imitated
elsewhere, as the most able opinions are not agreed whether the benefit is com-
mensurate with the great expense and infinite trouble occasioned by the Poor's
Rate ; which, however, has made the Boundaries of Parishes, and their relative
value, better known in England than, perhaps, in any other Country.
Neither has any authentic Inquiry into the Population of Ireland hitherto been
instituted, though a Bill to that effect was introduced into The House of
Commons in February 1806 ; but which was silently abandoned by its Author.
In England also the LIBER REGIS, compiled chiefly from the Valor of King
Henry the Eighth, furnished a mass of Ecclesiastical Information of which the
Author fully availed himself. Mr. Seward, in the Appendix to his TOPOGRA-
PHIA HIBERNICA No. VI, has given a Table of the FIRST FRUITS of the Ecclesi-
astical Benefices in Ireland, as taxed in the King's Books, which he states, to have
been accurately copied from the Original Record in the Chief Remembrancer's
Office, and was printed in a Tract, intituled, "VALOR BENEFICIORUM ECCLESI-
ASTICORUM IN HiBERNiA," which has been used upon the present occasion.
In addition to this VALOR, which appears to have been compiled between the
29° of Henry V11I (1538), and the 5° of Charles I (1630), authentic Ecclesiast-
ical Information of great weight and value has recently been obtained by
Government, so that the state of the Church of Ireland is better known,
and consequently better illustrated than that of England in the former Volumes
of this Work. i
PREFACE.
In the month of June 1805, The House of Commons ordered certain Returns
to ' e made from the several Dioceses of Ireland, and these Returns were ordered
to be printed in February 1806. They are signed by the Registers of the several
Dioceses, and contain the names and number of parishes comprised in each UNION
of PARISHES; the period of time when such parishes were united, and the Authority
under which such Union was effected ; the number of acres of Glebe which
appertain to each parish ; whether any Glebe House for the Residence of the
Incumbent is erected thereon ; and the distance at which United Parishes lie
from each other, when such parishes are not contiguous ; and whether any and
Avhat number of Churches, in which Divine Service is performed, are now sever-
ally thereon, or were at the time when such Parishes were united.
But the spirit of Inquiry, so successfully begun, did not rest here. In a dis-
patch from Earl SPP.NCER, dated Whitehall, the 18th of June 1806, to His Grace
the Lord Lieutenant (then Duke of BEDFORD), we find His Lordship stating, that
" Among all the important subjects which are involved in the Government of that
" part of the United Kingdom over which Your Grace is appointed by His
" Majesty to preside, there is none on which His Majesty's paternal care for the
" welfare of His Subjects leads Him to look with more anxiety than the Present
" State of the Established Church of Ireland, and the obvious necessity of
" adopting, without delay, any proper measure for its Support, and for remedying
" those Evils under which it at present unfortunately labours."
" In having recourse to Your Grace on this occasion", continues the Noble
" Earl, "I have the greatest satisfaction in knowing that your Habits, Opinions,
" and Disposition, are such as to inspire the fullest confidence of your cordial
" concurrence in promoting these important Objects ; and I flatter myself that
" the mode of proceeding which, upon the most mature Consideration, it has
" been thought advisable to pursue, will ensure to us the zealous Co-operation
" of the very respectable Prelates who are now placed at the Head of the
" Church of Ireland, at the same time that it affords the most unobjectionable
" as well as effectual means of procuring the Information required.
" With these Views I have His Majesty's Commands to direct Your Grace to
" write to The Lord Primate, and the three other Archbishops of Ireland, desir-
" ing that they will, with as little delay as possible, procure in their respective
;£ Provinces, and transmit to Your Grace, for His Majesty's Information, the most
" accurate Accounts that can be furnished of the actual Situation of the Established
" Church of Ireland, more especially on the following important Points:
' The present State of Residence of the Clergy in each Diocese respectively,
" and the means which exist of enforcing it : the Obstacles which may be in the
" way of it, by the want of Churches, of Glebe Houses, or otherwise ; and the
:< best mode of applying such Funds as now are applicable, or may hereafter be
" granted by Parliament for these Purposes :
PREFACE. IX
" The number of Livings, in each Diocese, of a Value too small to afford to Re-
" sident Incumbents the means of comfortable subsistence:
" The Allowance now given to Curates in cases of allowed Non-residence of the
" Incumbent, and the number of Curates who may be resident or non-resident
" upon their Cures :
" The State of the Unions of parishes ; the number and extent of each Union;
" the authority by which they were made; and the propriety of their being re-
" spectively continued or dissolved. — The Regulations which it may be proper to
" establish by Law or otherwise on this subject, both to prevent any Union being
" henceforth improperly made, and to preserve the Churches and Glebe Houses
" from dilapidation, where there are more than one in the united parishes ; — and,
" generally, all such other matters of information as may suggest themselves to
" Your Grace, or as may occur to the Archbishops themselves, as likely to be use-
" ful towards enabling His Majesty to give effect to His benevolent and paternal
" intentions for the protection and support of the Established Church of that
" part of the United Kingdom."
In consequence of these instructions, the Lord Lieutenant addressed a Circular
Letter, dated the 16th of July 1806, to the several Archbishops of Armagh, Dub-
lin, Cashel, and Tuam, communicating to them the foregoing dispatch, and ex-
pressing his fullest reliance on their earnest assistance and zealous co-operation in
forwarding the King's intentions ; And, at the same time, subjoining a List of
Queries * to be submitted to the several Bishops within each Province.
* As these Queries are so excellent, and exemplary, the author has been induced to subjoin them in the
following note.

PREFACE.
Upon the Answers to these Questions, which were ordered to he printed by
The House of Commons on the 29th of July 1807, and which contain many valua-
ble remarks, THIS TOPOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF IRELAND rests its principal
claim to the attention of the Public. The enlightened Earl who first moved the
inquiry, and the Reverend Prelates who so attentively promoted his intentions,
have merited the warmest gratitude of their Country. It has long been the mis-
fortune of Ireland to be .little known: But from henceforth, let no one complain
of the want of intelligence concerning The Established Church. The approbation
of an humble individual may be of no moment, but the Author hesitates not to
avow this to be, in his limited capacity, one of the most satisfactory and valuable
Reports which has ever been laid before THE UNITED PARLIAMENT.
Of the publications which have preceded the present Work, in illustrating the
Topography of Ireland, the first in order is, " THE POST-CHAISE COMPANION :
OR, TRAVELLER'S DIRECTORY THROUGH IRELAND. Dublin 1786. 8vo." This
Book was printed by Mr. Wilson, and usually goes under his name. At page 5, of
the Introduction, this description of the roads of Ireland is stated to be upon a

10. How near are they to the Church; or, in cases
where there is no church in repair, how near are they
to the site of the old church ?

value too small to afford to Resident Incumbents the
means of comfort ; and by what mode may the con-

plan similar to Mr. Patterson's useful Book of the English Roads ; with this very
material advantage, that descriptions of Towns are given, together with accounts
of ihe most remarkahle Buildings, Antiquities, modern Improvements, natural
Productions, and many other particulars worthy the Traveller's attention. The
actual Surveys by Messrs. Taylor and Skinner are also said to have been used,
and many other well authenticated documents. Sir Richard Colte Hoare in his
expressive language says, this " is the best Iter I ever saw." And it is worthy
of remark, that the late Mr. Gough has incorporated almost the whole of this
book in his edition of Camden's Britannia, 1789-
In the year 1789, was published " THE HIBERNIAN GAZETTEER; BEING A DE-
SCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL PROVINCES, COUNTIES, ClTIES, POST AND FAIR
TOWNS, ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED; WITH A CONCISE HISTORICAL AND GEO-
GRAPHICAL ACCOUNT OF IRELAND. THE WHOLK COLLECTED FROM THE BEST
AUTHORITIES AND MOST ACCURATE OBSERVATIONS. BY WILLIAM WENMAN
SE\VARD, ESQ. Dublin. 1789. 12mo." The Author in his Preface says, " the
nature of the present Undertaking at once evinces its utility. It was intended to
give aconcise view of the State of this Kingdom, and its Antiquities, inamanner
both pleasing and instructive." After a well turned compliment to the merit of
the writings of the late Charles Smith, M. D., Mr. Seward concludes his Preface
with an extract from some important queries, which Dr. Smith recommends to the
curious, to enable them to make proper inquiries into the Natural and Civil State
of their respective Neighbourhoods. In this publication, Mr. Seward has thrown
into an Alphabetical form the Descriptions, contained in Wilson's Post-Chaise
Companion, prefixing an Historical Introduction. The design being laudable,
it appears to have met with suitable encouragement.
And, in the year 1797, we find the same Gentleman publishing under an
improved form, " TOPOGRAPHIA HIBERNICA ; or, THE TOPOGRAPHY OF IRE-
LAND, ANCIENT, AND MODERN. GIVING A COMPLETE VIEW OF THE CIVIL
AND ECCLESIASTICAL STATE OF THAT KINGDOM. Dublin, 1797, 4to." In this
edition, Mr. Seward has availed himself of the labours of The Rev. Mr. Archdall,
and more especially of The Rev. Dr. Beaufort, who, in 1792, published his
" MEMOIII OF A MAP OF IRELAND;" which, under this modest title, contains a
succinct account of the Civil and Ecclesiastical State of Ireland, and an Index of
all the Places which appear on his Map.
The careful Research exemplified in the Construction and Explanation of this
truly Original Map are generally known. But, it would be unpardonable in the
Author, who has compared Dr. Beaufort with the more recent Ecclesiastical Au-
thorities, not publicly to bear testimony of his Accuracy of Investigation, in collect-
ing materials for a Book, which is an Ornament to Ireland,
In the present Work, the subjects are arranged in the same order as in the Topo-
XJJ PREFACE.
graphy of England ; with such unavoidable omissions, as have been explained in
the beginning of this Preface.
The Orthography of the names of parishes has been determined by a careful
comparison of the Diocesan Returns, Dr. Beaufort's Memoir, and other Topogra-
phical Books.
As the Reader may require an explanation of that part of the Work which
relates to the PROVINCES, it is proper to mention, that Ireland is divided, with
respect to its Civil or Political distinctions into the Four Provinces of ULSTER,
LEINSTER, CONNAUGHT, and MUNSTER; which are subdived into Thirty-two
Counties, in the following manner.—
The Province of ULSTER comprises the nine Northern Counties, being those
of Antrim, Armagh, Cavan, Donegal, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry, Monaghan,
and Tyrone. Together with the great body of Water, LOUGH NEAGH, which,
according to Dr. Beaufort, covers 58,200 acres.
The Province of LEINSTER comprises the twelve Eastern Counties, being
Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, King's County, Longford, Louth, Meath,
Queen's County, West Meath, Wexford, and Wicklow.
The Province of CONNAUGHT comprises the five Western Counties, being
Gal way, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon, and Sligo.
The Province of MUNSTER comprises the six Southern Counties, being Clare,
Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford.
With respect to its Church Establishment, Ireland is divided into the four
Provinces of ARMAGH, DUBLIN, CASHEL, and TUAM. An Archbishop presides
over each. These Provinces are subdivided into Thirty-two Dioceses, which
are united or consolidated under eighteen Bishops, in the following order.—
The Archbishop of ARMAGH, who is LORD PRIMATE, and METROPOLITAN OF
ALL IRELAND, presides over the eight Suffragan Bishops of Ardagh, Clogher,
Deny, Down and Connor, Dromore, Kilmore, Meath, b and Raphoe, in the
Northern Province.
The Archbishop of DUBLIN, who is LORD PRIMATE OF IRELAND, presides
over the three Suffragan Bishops of Kildare, Leighlin and Ferns, and Ossory, in
the Eastern Province.
The Archbishop of CASHEL, who is LORD PRIMATE OF MONSTER, presides over
the five Suffragan Bishops of Cloyne,Corkfl«d Ross, K]l\a.]oeand Kilfenora, Limerick
and Ardfert and Aghadoe, and Waterford and Lismore, in the Southern Province.
The Archbishop of TUAM, who is LORD PRIMATE OF CONNAUGHT, presides
over the three Suffragan Bishops of Clonfert and Kilmacduagh, Elphin, and Killala
and Achonry in the Western Province.
b The Bishop of Meath has precedence of all Bishops, and next to him The Bishop of Kildare. The other
Bishops take place according to the date of their Consecration. j
P'RKFACK: xm
The number of Deanries in this Kingdom is Thirty-three, and of Archdeaconries
Thirty-four. But the Archdeacons, according to Dr. Beaufort, have not a Visita-
torial jurisdiction ; the Government of the Church of Ireland, which is in most
things conformable to that of England, differing with respect to Visitations :
For in Ireland, the Bishops hold a Visitation annually, and the Archbishop visits
his Suffragans every third year.
When the PROVINCE, therefore, is mentioned, in Succession to the COUNTY, it
is to be understood with reference to the Civil Jurisdiction, And, on the other
hand, when the PROVINCE is noticed, in its order with the DIOCESE, it applies to
the Established Church.
The Distances and Bearings of the several parishes are given from their nearest
Post-Office towns, which are all set from the City of Dublin. The distances from
thence are according to the Post-Office account. In all cases, where distance is
expressed, the scale of Irish miles has been used, in conformity with the Road
Books. And, in all the Cross roads (as observed in the Preface to the former
Volumes), the direct distance has been measured on the Map from the nearest
Post-Office town to the place in question, and to that distance, one seventh part
more has been added ; except in mountainous or marshy counties, when a
greater proportion has occasionally been allowed. For the information of strangers,
it may also be proper to remark, that eleven Irish Miles are equal to fourteen
English Miles.
o
A considerable alteration having taken place in the state of the Representation
of Ireland on the Union in 1801, the following Extract, with the hope of its being
found useful, is copied from " AN ACT TO REGULATE THE MODE BY WHICH THE
" LORDS SPIRITUAL AND TEMPORAL, AND THE COMMONS, TO SERVE IN THE PAR-
" LIAMEXT OF THE UNITED KlNGDOM ON THE PART OF IRELAND, SHALL BE
''" SUMMONED AND RETURNED TO THE SAID PARLIAMENT. WHEREAS it is

" One Hundred Commoners (Two for each County of Ireland, Two for the City
" of Dublin, Two for the City of Cork, One for The College of The Holy Trinity
" of Dublin, and One for each of the Thirty-one most considerable Cities, Towns
" and Boroughs) be the number to sit and vote on the Part of Ireland in the
" House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom ; be it enacted
" by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent
" of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament

" shall be taken from among the Lords Spiritual of Ireland in the manner follow-
" ing: that is to say, that one of the four Archbishops of Ireland, and three of

the South side of the Town, for Friars of the Order of the Holy Trinity, for the
Redemption of Christian Captives in the reign of King Edward the First, by John
Earl of Kildare. One Writer alone gives this foundation to the Family of Clan-
gibbon. Some large and very perfect Ruins of this Friary still remain. The
Steeple resembles a castle, and is supported by a plain Arch, with four diagonal
Ogives meeting in the centre, and stairs leading to the battlements. The Nave
and Choir are small and plain, without any thing remarkable; in the rear arc
several other ruins : the entrance into the Friary was by a low gate on the West
4
ADR
side, which is still standing.— An Augustinian Friary was founded on the South side
of the river by John Earl of Kildare, son to Earl Thomas, who died in the year
1315. A great part of this Friary still remains in good preservation : the Steeple,
similar to that of the Trinitarians, is supported on an Arch : the Choir is large,
with Stalls, &c., and the Nave answerable thereto, with a lateral Aisle on the
South side: to the North of the steeple are some beautiful Cloisters with Gothic
windows, within which, on three sides of the square, are Corridores, and on most
of these windows, are escutcheons with the English and Saltire crosses, generally
ranged alternately : the workmanship is simply elegant, the principal parts
being of hewn lime-stone, which appears so fresh, as to give it, on the whole, a
modern, yet venerable appearance. Adjoining the cloisters are several apart-
ments, which seem to be much more ancient than the other parts of the building.
This description of these Friaries was taken in the Month of May, 1781.— A Gray
Friary was founded in the East part of the town, in the year 1465, by Thomas
Earl of Kildare and Joan his wife, daughter of James Earl of Desmond. No
traces of this Friary can now be found, save a lofty square Steeple."— ArchdalFs

mended to be perpetually united, and Glebe Land purchased, and a Glebe House
built: and though it is apprehended, that this Union would be of much too small
value to afford comfort to the Incumbent, yet it might be very advantageoxisly
increased by the purchase of Glebe Lands. See, Clashmore.

and divided from the Church by an Arch, resting on a Pillar of solid Masonry /
between the East Windows of this Chapel is a Pedestal, intended for a Statue, and
under it a stone, hollowed and shaped like an inverted Cone, with eight grooves,
supposed to be for holy water: A door on the North side leads you into a quad-
rangle of sixty feet : the Cells for the Friars, usually ten in number, lay to the
East, and opposite thereto was the Kitchen, with apartments for servants ; the
Cellars were large, and over them the Abbot's apartment, measuring 46 feet by
17, at the eud of which was a bed-chamber seventeen feet square : whether this
large room was not the Refectory we can not determine, as the last Vicar of the
Parish demolished much of the building and made use of the materials to inclose
a demesne : originally there was a fire-place at the South end, and a stone stair-
case made a communication with the church and cellars. The lands annexed to
the Abbey, such as those of Aghaboe, with the Cross and Friar's land, were of a

Report, the Union of Ardfinan, as it now stands, ought to be made perpetual; and
a Glebe House ought to be built on the nearest glebe to the church. — "St.

Ardmore; his Festival is holden on the 24th of July : And St. Ultan, the successor
of St. Declan, was alive after the year 550. The remains of two ancient churches
are still to be seen here : one, on a Cliff near the Sea, quite in ruins, which seems
to have been the first erection : the other, stands about a mile North-west of the
former, and is very ancient ; an handsome Gothic arch, which separates the body
of this church from the chancel, yet remains, and the pillars supporting it are more
massive than those of the Tuscan order, which denotes the antiquity of the build-
ing ; the chancel is roofed, and at present is used for Divine Service. On the
West end of this church are some figures in alto relievo, in free-stone, venerable
for their antiquity, viz., Adam and Eve, with the tree and serpent, the judgment
of Solomon, &c. Here also is a fine Round to\ver, upwards of 100 feet in
height and 45 in circumference, and in the church-yard is a small low building,
called The Dormitory of St. Declan." — ArchdalYs Monast. Hibern. p. 684.

are holden here. The Magistrates are a Sovereign, and Register. It is situate
near the River Callen. It has six Post-days in the week. According to Dr.
Beaufort, the city of Armagh, which was very much decayed, was renovated,
and is become a pretty town, of good size, and well inhabitated, through the
attention and munificence of Richard Robinson, D. D., Baron Rokeby, late
Lord Primate : who built there a handsome Archiepiscopal Palace, and a noble
House for the School, which is one of the Royal Foundations (of Charles the
First), and is extremely well endowed. To these His Grace added a Public
Library for the promotion of science. He also erected a complete Observatory,
with a liberal establishment for the support of an Astronomer ; and secured the
permanency of his endowments, by several Acts of Parliament, obtained for that
purpose. This See, which is valued in the King's Books at «£l83..17..1^ ster-
ling, was founded by St. Patrick about the middle of the Fifth century, and was
made an Archbishoprick, in the year 1152. It extends into five counties, being
59 miles from North to South and varying in breadth from 10 to 25 miles. The
Chapter consists of a Dean, Precentor, Chancellor, Treasurer, Archdeacon, and
four Prebendaries, with eight Vicars Choral. The city of Armagh is 35 miles
distant from the extremity of the Diocese. According to the Report of the
Commissioners of the Board of Education, the lands, with which the School of
Armagh is endowed, contain, as appears by the last Survey, made in the year 1771,
1530 acres English measure, including Roads, Lakes, Rivers, and also about 100
acres of Bog. The Lands are situate in the county of Armagh, between the
towns of Newry and Armagh. It appears, that these lands produced, in the
year 1804, the gross annual rent of £\ 144..10..5|. The present Master, The
Rev. Thomas Carpendale, A. M., was appointed by Primate Robinson, in the year
1786, to be Master, upon the resignation of Dr. Gruebere, for a valuable consider-
ation. Mr. Carpendale is stated to have paid, during the whole time that he has
been Master, the closest and most laudable attention to the duties of the School ;
and no School in this country maintains a higher reputation than that of Armagh. —
" St. Patrick, the great Apostle of this Kingdom, founded an Abbey here, A. D.
445, or in 457, for Regular Canons of the Order of St. Augustin, and dedicated it
to the Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul; it continued, for many ages, one of the
most celebrated Ecclesiastical Foundations in the world. — This Abbey, and all
the posses«ions thereunto belonging, were granted, in May 1612, to Sir Toby
A R R
Caulficld, Knight, at the Rent of £5. Irish.— The Culdei, or Colidei, were secu-
lar Priests, and served in the Choir of the Cathedral of Armagh: their President
was called, The Prior of the College of the Culdei, and was a Precentor to the
said church : Upon a vacancy, a Prior was elected by the whole College of the
Culdei, but he received his confirmation from the Archbishop.— Temple Brigid
is said to have been founded in this Town by St. Patrick. — Temple Fartagh, or
The Church of the Miracles, was founded without the town by the same Saint,
for St. Lupita, his eldest sister, who was buried here : And, in the beginning of
the last century, her Body was found buried deeply under the rubbish of her an-
cient Nunnery, in a standing posture ; two crosses were also discovered closely
guarding the body before and behind. On the 9th of January, 1618, King James
granted the Monasteries of Temple Fartagh, and Temple Brigid, to Francis
Annesley, Esq. — Porter in his Annals tells us, that there was a Dominican Friary
at Armagh ; which is more than probable, otherwise the Primate Scanlain, who
was of that Order, would not have made his Foundation for the Friars Minor.—
The Friars of the Order of St. Francis were brought into this Town, A. D. 1261,
and Patrick Scanlain, who was then Primate, built a House for them two years
after: Though Wadding, the Franciscan, as quoted by Allemande, assures us,
that it was founded, in the year 1291, by O'Donnel. The Franciscans of the
strict observance began to reform this Friary in 1518, but it was not then per-
fected. In 1580, Walter Mac Cuard was Guardian, and, in 1583, Solomon Mac
Conny was Guardian, in whose time the reformation was completed." — Archdalfs

ARRAGELL, v. ERRIGALL.
ARRAN, ISLES, off the Barony of Moycullin, Co. of GAJL.WAY, and Province
of Connaught. Three Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, opposite to the Bay of Gal-
way ; the principal of them was called, Arran Naomh, that is, Arran of the Saints,
a number of churches having been erected in this island, in which the bodies of
many Saints repose. ^Engus, king of Cashel, at the request of St. Albeus,
granted this island to St. Enna, or Endeus, who built ten churches on it ; and
about the year 490, he was Abbot of Killenda, the principal of those churches,
and to which all the rest were subject. The feast of St. Endeus, who died in the
beginning of the Sixth century, is observed on the 21st of March. — The Middle,
or Second Island, on which are only two churches; one is called, Teampull-
ceannan-nach, each of them was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and both were
subordinate to the church of Killenda. — -Ardoilen, the third of the Isles of Arran,
was anciently called Aracoemhain, and took its name from St. Coemaun, the
Patron of it. Three churches were erected here, that of Kil-choemhain, where
St. Columb is honoured, another dedicated to St. Paul, and the third, called
Kil-gradh-an-domhain, in which St. Gobnata is honoured on the 1 1th of February.
A S II
Kil-choemhain was a Monastery of note, and was founded by St. Fechin. The
Abbot St. Gormgal, justly celebrated for his piety, died A. D. 1017, on the
5th of August, on which day his feast is holden ; from whence we must conclude,
that this abbey existed several ages. — A Franciscan Friary was founded on one of
these islands in the year 1485." — Archdalts Monast. Hibern.p. 271.

by the Earl of Desmond. It was formerly a large walled town, but is now a
•mall depopulated village. A Monastery was founded here, adjoining to the
castle, in the year 1490, for Conventual Franciscans, by James the seventh Earl
of Desmond. This Monastery, according to Mr. Archdall, was of such conse-
quence, that a Provincial Chapter of the order was holden there in the year 156*4.

has cure of souls, and is non-resident, being the Inspector and Chaplain to the
Gaol of Trim, where he resides : The duties are discharged by the neighbouring
Clergymen. According to the Ecclesiastical Report, it appears, that another dis-
tribution of these parishes would be expedient : they are of small income, and
there are other parishes also of small incomes contiguous to them, with which they
might be perpetually united, if the Patrons would give their consent. Assey is
in the Diocese of Meath, and Province of Armagh. It is 4 m. S. from Navan. It
is situate upon the River Boyne. This parish contains 690 acres of land. The
parishes of Assey, and Balsoon, are contiguous ; those of Clonarney, and Killagh,
are at the distance of 121 miles from them, and these again are separated by the
intervening parishes of Dysertale, and Castletown Delvin.

— " An Abbey was founded here for Monks of the Cistertian Order by Roderick
O'Cananan, Prince of Tyrconnt-11. He was slain in battle by O'Flachertach, who
succeeded him : some writers make O'Flachertach the founder. This abbey was
a daughter of that of Boyle." — Archdalfs JMonast. Hibern. p. 93.
ATHADDY, in the Barony of , Co. of CARLO.W, and Province of Lein-
ster.— " About the year 1151, an Abbey was founded here, for Nuns of the Order
A T H
of St Augustine, by Dermot, the son of Murchard, King of Leinster. He ap-
pointed it to be a Cell to the Nunnery of St. Mary de Hoggis in the- city of
Dublin." — Archdall's Monast. Hibern. p. 35.
ATHASSEL, in the Barony of Clanwilliam, Co. of TTPPERARV, and Province of
Munster : a Rectory entire, and united, at a period prior to any known record, to
the Rectories entire of Ballygriffin, Dangandargan, and Relickmurry : a Church, in
good repair : no Glebe House, but one about to be built : a Glebe, lately obtained,
of 'JO acres : The Rev. Patrick Hare, the Incumbent (in 1806), who has cureof souls,
is resident in the adjoining parish of Cashel,and performs the duties. Athassel is in
the Diocese of Cashel, and Province of Cashel. It is 3^ m. W. from Cashel.
It is situate upon the River Suir. The parishes in the union of Athassel
are contiguous, and contain together about 7000 acres. According to the Ec-
clesiastical Report, this union is not too extensive for the accommodation of the
Parishioners, and the convenient performance of Parochial duty. — "Here Wil-
liam Fitz Adelm de Burgo founded a Priory, under the Invocation of St. Edmund
the King and Martyr, for Canons Regular of the order of St. Augustin. The Prior
sat as a Baron in Parliament, The ruins of this abbey show it to have been
equal, if not superior, to any monastic edifice in this kingdom. The choir mea-
sures 44 feet in length and 26|- in breadth ; on the North and South sides are
small aisles, which we rather suppose were'designed for some other purpose, as
their communication with the main building is by doors parallel to the choir, &c. .
on the South side is a long range, with one entire low arch, 24 feet broad and 37
long : it then diminishes to 10 feet in width, and stretches out 24 feet longer ; on
the West end thereof, and on the South side of the nave, are part of the windows
and outer walls of the cloisters, forming a square of 63 feet ; on the South side is
another long range of building, with the lower part divided by arches. The nave
appears to have been of the same breadth with the choir, and supported by lateral
aisles ; it measures by the exterior walls 1 17 feet in length and 58 in breadth ;
in the South-west corner is a small chapel, with an ar-ched roof sustained by diag-
onal and central ogives. The steeple was a lofty square building, of which the
South side only remains. About forty yards West of the nave, is an entrance
through a small gate, wherein had been a portcullis ; the passage to this is by a
small ancient bridge, over alow, marshy piece of ground ; the view from hence,
through the nave and steeple, terminating at the high altar, must have been highly
picturesque. To describe minutely each part of this extensive ruin would be in-
sufferably tedious; we shall, therefore, only add, that the whole work was uniform,
regular, and finished in a fine limestone." — Archdnlts Monast. Hibern. p. 640.

miles in length, and1 about 9 miles in breadth.—" Meyler de Bermingham, tlic
second Baron of Athenry, gave to the Dominican Friars 160 Marcs to assist in
building this house, and granted the land whereon to erect it; he also presented
to them (on the completion of the building, as we suppose) an hogshead of wine.
De Berminghain was induced to begin this work by letters from St. Dominick, and
a noble Monastery \vas erected here, under the Invocation of St. Peter and St.
Paul, in the year 1241. The ruins which remain of this friary, prove it to have
been a sumptuous building ; part of it was taken down to erect in its room the
present Barracks, and the Cloisters probably stood where the Barrack-yard is now ;
the whole was well built of a blue coloured stone ; the tower, for half its height,
is larger below than above. The great East window is bold and of good work-
manship : there were here numbers of Mausoleums, but the soldiers have erased
them all, and with their fragments the church is nearly covered. — A Franciscan
Friary was founded here in the year 1464, under the Invocation of St. Michael,
by Thomas Earl of Kildare ; his wife, Margaret Gibbon, erected the^first Chapel ;
the second was built by an Earl of Desmond, and the third by O'Tully." — Arch-

Parentage, and was educated under St. Fintan, in Clonenagh. About this time
(555) he founded here a celebrated Abbey ; where, in this year, Cormac, King of
South Leinster, took on him the Cowl; and died A. D. 567-— In a Parliament
holden this year (1380), it was enacted, that no mere Irishman should be suffered
to make his profession here.— The Abbot enjoyed a Town-land in the Isle of Man,
called Clenanoy, on condition that he should attend on the King of that Island at
certain times. The Abbey of Bangor was so gone to ruin, in the year 1469,
through the neglect of the Abbot, that Pope Paul the Second commanded that
the Friars of the third order of St. Francis should immediately take possession of
it, which was accordingly done, says Wadding, by Father Nicholas of that order.
A small part of the ruins of this abbey still remain : the windows were of the
ancient narrow Gothic kind, &c., and the traces of the foundation show that the
building was of a great extent."— ArchdaU's Monast. Hibern. pp. 106. et seq.

Lord Buttevant, founded a Monastery here, A. D. 1 290, for Conventual Franciscans,

earlier than the time here set down ; for we find that William Barry, in the

1273, granted the whole church of Cathirdufgan to the Prior of Buttevant. Some
are of opinion, that this house owed its origin to one of the family of Prender-
gast, but the Monument of the Barrys being in the centre of the choir, confirms
to them the honour of this foundation. The walls of the Choir and Nave, with
several other buildings, including the Steeple, which is an high square tower,
erected on a fine Gothic arch, are yet entire ; to the South is the Chapel of the
Virgin Mary ; which, with the Monastery, forms a picturesque ruin. On the

been erected by one of the Earls of Desmond, who retired thither. There were
some fine Paintings in fresco on the walls of this monastery, and a few of. their
remains are still visible. This house Was repaired by the Roman Catholicks, in

sufficient to shew its pristine magnificence. The ruins lie at the back of the town,
and are inclosed in the demesne of the Earl of Kingston. The chancel and a small
Chapel on either side are roofed ; the great arches which supported the tower were
45 or 46 feet in height, but the ground is now so raised as to cover all the
bases of the columns ; one half of the arches are supported by round pillars,
built of cut stone, of various sizes, and the rest are a group of small columns, or
moldings; all the spaces between those pillars are now filled up, so as to make a
solid wall, and which, as we suppose, was done in the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
when the abbey was converted into a place of defence. Some of the capitals are
plain, others are ornamented with carvings, and the East window was grand and
lofty. There are no remains to be seen of the Cloister, that part being long since
converted into a Barrack. The stump of a Round tower near the abbey is still
to be seen." — ArchdalVs Monast. Hibern. p. 601.

Counties of Waterford, and Tipperary. — " A Monastery was founded here for
Conventual Franciscans in the year 1336, by James Earl of Ormond, and the first
Friar was admitted therein on Saturday, being the festival of St. Peter and St.
Paul; at which time Stephen de Barry was appointed Minister, friar William
Naisse keeper, and friar John Clynne, of the Franciscan friary of Kilkenny, was
appointed the first warden. The steeple of this monastery, dedicated to St. Mi-
chael, still remains, and is a very curious building, about 60 feet in height, rising
from a single stone, like an inverted Pyramid, which point begins several feet
from the ground towards the middle of the side-wall of the church."— ArchdalVs

contiguous ; that of Carrickfergus containing 9565 acres of land. The Assizes
are holden here both for the County of Antrim at large, and for the district of the
town. It was once the first Sea-port in the North of Ireland, and defended by a
strong Castle. But the port is now little frequented, and the Castle is no longer
garrisoned, though it still possesses a Military Governor. — " The foundation of a
Monastery here, for Franciscan Friars, is fixed in the year 1 232, but it is a matter
of doubt who was the Founder: Some say, the famous Hugh de Lacie, Earl of
Ulster: according to others, O'Neal; we are inclined to the former. This
monastery was in such high repute, that a general Chapter of the Order was
holden in it, in the year 1510. At the suppression of Religious houses, this
monastery and its possessions were granted to Sir Edmund Fitzgerald, who
assigned the same to Sir Arthur Chichester, ancestor to the Earl of Donegal. This
nobleman, who was several times Lord Deputy of Ireland, erected a noble Castle
on the site of this monastery, about the year 1610."- ArchdalCs Monast. Hibern.

but has no trade. Here is a Charter-School, for 80 Boys. The See of Cashel,
according to Dr. Beaufort, was either founded or restored at the beginning of the
Tenth century ; it was made an Archbishoprick, in 1 152, and is valued in the
King's Books at ,£66.. 13- .4 Irish Money. Emly, which was founded in the Fifth
century, is said to have been at first an Archbishoprick also. They were united,
in 1568. The Archbishoprick is almost confined to the county of Tipperary,
branching a very little way into the counties of Kilkenny, and Limerick, and is
28 miles in length, and 23 miles in breadth. The united Sees are very compact,
extending 32 miles in one direction, and 30 miles in the other. The Chapter of
Cashel consists of a Dean, Precentor (see, Templeneiry), Chancellor (see, Clogher\
Treasurer (see, Burrosleigfi), and Archdeacon (see, Geale), with four Prebendaries.
The Cathedral of Cashel, which serves also for a parish church, is a large and
handsome edifice, completed by the late Archbishop : the ancient and spacious
church, which, still venerable in ruins, stands upon the Rock of Cashel,
having fallen to decay in the time of his Predecessor. The palace is a plain, large
house, in the city of Cashel, to which a Publick Library is annexed. There is no
part of these United Sees more distant than 25 miles from Cashel " An Hospital
for sick and infirm poor, with fourteen beds and three Chaplains, was founded here
to the honour of St. Nicholas, by Sir David le Latimer, Seneschal to Marian, who
was Archbishop of Cashel from the year- 1224 to 1238: the said Archbishop
granted to this hospital two flaggons of Ale out of every brewing made for sale
within the limits of thirty messuages in this town, and David, a succeeding Prel-
ate, did, by force and violence, unite this hospital to the Cistertian Abbey, about
the year 1272, — A Dominican Friary was founded adjoining the town, (but not
within the Liberties of the Corporation) and dedicated to St. Dominick, in the year
1243, by the Archbishop David Mac Kelly, who was himself a Dominican, and
supplied it with brethren from the Friary of Cork. General Chapters of the
Order were holden here in 1289 and 1307. This monastery, as lately evinced,
was the noblest and most beautiful building belonging to the Dominican Order in
Ireland. — Hacket's Abbey was founded for Conventual Franciscans in the reign
of King Henry the Third by William Hacket. In the night of the 14th of
February 1757, the lofty and beautiful steeple of this friary fell to the ground.
This erection was situate at the rere of Friar-street, and is now so much gone to
ruin, that it is scarce possible to trace the divisions of the building : What remains
CAS
measures East and West about 150 feet in length, and 25 in breadth: on the
South side, opposite the centre of this range, is a small chapel with niches for
candles, the same as those at Hore Abbey, and an handsome window : Here are
several old tomb-stones, on which are crosses, but no inscriptions. In the year
1781, the great East window, and many other parts of the abbey, were pulled
down to employ the materials in private buildings.'' — Arch doll's Monast. Hibern.

cious observations of his friend, Aylmer Bourke Lambert, Esq., " that Castlebar
is one of the neatest towns in Ireland. The houses are well built, and good look-
ing, and no town in the Kingdom is more rapidly increasing. Lord Lucan interests
himself extremely about the welfare of this place, which belongs to him, together
\vith the surrounding country; and what is so truly praise-worthy, has the high
character of being one of the best of Landlords. His Lordship is now building (in

Of the great Baronial Estates, attached to this Castle, it may not be improper
briefly to mention, that Sir Theobald Bourke, the FOURTH Viscount of Mayo,
being left a Minor, preferred a petition, upon his father's death and forfeiture, to
the Commissioners of Government for a maintenance : Who declared, on the 15th of
April, 1653, that if he would repair to Dublin, and make application to them, they
would take care that he should be decently educated, and maintained. He repaired
to Dublin accordingly, and was placed under the tuition of Mr. John Stephens,
then Master of the Free School. Some time after which, he was sent for to Eng-
land by his mother's relations, with whom he lived till the Restoration of the King.
On the 14th of May, 1661, he took his seat in the House of Peers, ami on the
18th of July, delivering a petition to be restored to his estate, it was ordered- by
the House, that he should be recommended to the Agents in England, particu-
larly to supplicate his Majesty on his behalf, to be comprised in his declaration :
Wherefore, on the Act of Explanation, he was decreed to his estate, by the Com-
missioners for putting that Act in execution, on the llth of April 1666', and on
the 30th of August following, had a grant of the benefit of that decree, consist-
ing of 50,000 acres of land, and five Manors in the County of Mayo. He died
on the 5th of June 1676, in St. Patrick's, Dublin, and leaving no issue, was suc-
ceeded by his brother, Miles, the FIFTH Viscount, who, for some time after his
marriage, having no prospect of issue, was prevailed upon to sell part of his es-
tate, for the discharge of some debts which he had contracted. He died at Castle
Bourke, in March 1681, and left an only child, Theobald, the SIXTH Viscount of
Mayo; who was succeeded by his eldest son, Sir Theobald Bourke, the SEVENTH
Viscount, and he dying without issue, the honour devolved on hjs only brother,
John, the EIGHTH Viscount, who took his seat in the House of Peers on the 10th of
November 1743: His Lordship died, on the 12th of January 1767, in Pall Mall, Lon-
don, since when the title has lain dormant. These large estates have partly passed
by marriage, and partly by sale. This Castle is entire, and in good repair : which,
together with the adjacent territory, lineally descended to Aylmer Bourke
Lambert, Esq., were, in 1790, granted by that Gentleman to his agent, Mr.
Bourke, on a lease for three lives and sixty one years; and by whom the Castle is
now inhabited.

erected here some time before the year 1266 : some writers give the foundation

midst of the choir, in this friary. The seal of this convent was in being in the

that this would be a good arrangement.- — " Glaismhor was a celebrated abbey in
the Decies near the River Blackwater, and was founded by Cuanchear at the

enter, who was born A. D. 506, gave Clonard, with every appendage thereof, to St.
Finian, some short time before his death, which happened about the year 549, on
which, St. Finian, who was of a noble family, a philosopher, and an eminent di-
vine, founded this abbey, (which he dedicated to St. Peter) and had therein a
school, celebrated for producing many men eminent in the learned world, and of
exemplary piety. This Saint died of the plague, the 12th of December 548, on
which day his feast is commemorated. The entrance into this abbey, on the
West side, was through a small building, with a lodge over it, which led into a
small court; to the right of this court stands the kitchen and cellar, and over
them the dormitory, ranging with the river, and over-looking the garden which
sloped from thence to the water's edge; opposite the entrance was another small
apartment, and adjoining it the refectory, which was carried for some length
beyond the square, and joined the choir, a large and elegant building, most part of
which still remains, and the windows are finished in a light Gothic style. On
the South side of the altar, fixed in the wall, is a small double arch, in the old
Saxon manner, and divided by a pillar through which iron bars were fixed; this is
supposed to have been the Founder's tomb. There are many remains of walls ad-
joining the other parts of the abbey, but in so ruinous a state, that little informa-
tion can be gleaned from them. At a little distance from the East window, in the
burial ground, stands a small Chapel, in which is a cable monument, ornamented
with the etiigies of a man and a woman, in a praying posture, and dressed in the
ruff of Queen Elizabeth's time; the sides are adorned with many coats of arms;
C L O
that of the family of Dillon is most conspicuous. — The nunnery, for Regular Can-
onesses, was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and was endowed before the arrival
of the English by O'Melaghlin, king of Meath, This nunnery was afterwards
reduced to so great penury, that it became a cell to the nunnery of St. Brigid
of Odra, commonly called Odder." — Archdalfs Monast. Hibern. pp. 519- et seq.

property of the Diocesan) to the officiating Parochial Incumbents. Of such a
measure, the first result would be to release the Diocesan from the necessity of
employing a Tythe Proctor; or, as it happens in some cases, where the Incum-
bent wishes to become tenant to the Quarta Pars, from trafficking with one of
his clergy for a property not unimportant to either. In the hands of the Incum-
bent, these portions would individually increase much in value: their dispartition
would lay a reasonable foundation for the dissolution of several of the present
Unions: new churches and additional Incumbents might follow ; a competency
\vould be established for general residence, and a single Manse House would no
longer remain the opprobrium of the union of two not inconsiderable Sees. In
the instance of three Benefices, viz., Cloiifert, Donanaghta, and Kiltormer, I have
the best authority to assert that these three Benefices would afford equal, if not
superior incomes to six Clergymen : and three additional churches might be
built in situations not remote from any church, if the respective native tythes of
each parish were relinquished by the Diocesan, and conferred upon the Incum-
bent. In respect to the parish of Clonfert, upon any dissolution of the Union, I
conceive it might be adviseable to constitute it part of the Corps of the Deanery
of Clonfert, which Dignitary is at present without cure of souls, in order to induce
the Dean to reside at Clonfcrt : where, from the solitude of the situation, and un-
civilization of the lower orders of people, such an association to the residence of the
Ordinary might prove very beneficial to the cause of religion and morality." How
sensible, and judicious! The Right Rev. Christopher Butson, D. D., Lord Bishop, in
1806. The Bishoprick of Clonfert (valued in the King's Books at ot'24. sterling)
was founded, according to Dr. Beaufort, near the close of the Sixth century; and
the See of Kilmacduagh, in the beginning of the Seventh. They were united in
1602. Clonfert lies chiefly in the county of Gal way ; a small part only of Roscommon
belongs to it, with a single parish, on the East of the Shannon, in the King's County.
The greatest length of this Diocese is 29 miles, and the greatest breadth 25 miles.
Kilmacduagh is wholly in Galway, and measures 18 by 12 miles. The extent of
the Union is about 37 by 25 miles. The Members of the Chapter of Clonfert are a
Dean, an Archdeacon, a Sacrist, and 8 Prebendaries. The Cathedral and parish
church of Clonfcrt are the same : near them stands the Bishop's Palace ; there
not being one at Clonfert, which is distant 21 miles from the farthest part of the
Diocese, and 34 from the western extremity of the Union. — " St. Brendan, the
son of Findloga, studied under St. Finian in the Academy of Clonard, and A. D. 553
or 56"2, he founded an Abbey here, under the Invocation of the Virgin Mary. St.
C L O
Brendan was the founder of many other abbies, and is said to have presided over
3000 Monks, each of whom did industriously earn a sufficiency for his support ;
this Saint instituted a particular form or rule for the observance of his successors,
who, in the course of time, followed that of St. Augustin." — Archdalts Monast.

— "This monastery, which belonged to the Regular Canons of St. Augustin, was
peculiarly and universally esteemed, it was uncommonly extensive, and amazingly
enriched by various Kings and Princes. Its landed property was so great, and
the number of cells and monasteries subjected to it so numerous, that almost half
of Ireland was said to be within the bounds of Clonmacnoise. And what was a
strong inducement, and contributed much towards enriching this house, it was
believed, that all persons who were interred in the holy ground belonging to it.
had insured to themselves a sure and immediate ascent to Heaven; many princes
(it is supposed for this reason) chose this for the place of their sepulture; it was
the Jonaof Ireland. Yet notwithstanding the reputed sanctity of this monastery,
and the high estimation in which it was holden by all ranks of people, it appears,
that the abbey and town were frequently plundered, burnt and destroyed by de-
spoilers of every kind, from the unpolished Irish desperado, to the empurpled
King. The abbey also suffered by the hands of the barbarous Ostmen, and not
only by them, but (with concern do we add) by the English then settled in the
kingdom, whose errand hither, we would wish to think, was to conciliate the
affections of the people, to unite them in bonds of friendship, and teach thefh to
live like fellow citizens and subjects; instead of this, we are compelled to say,
they too often joined in the sacrilegious outrages of other wicked men, and re-
peatedly disturbed and despoiled the peaceful seminary of Clonmacnoise; sparing
neither book, vestment, or any other appendage of the sacred altar, which be-
longed to these truly inoffensive men. The situation of Clonmacnoise is delight-
ful. It stands about ten miles from Athlone, on the banks of the Shannon, and is
raised above the river on ground composed of many small elevations, on which are
a few of the buildings which did belong to this ancient house. Several other ruins
appertaining to it may also be seen in the little vallies between the hills. The
whole is bounded to the East and North with very large bogs. Here are two
Round towers, elegantly built of hewn stone; the larger, which is called O'Rourk's,
and wants the roof, is 62 feet in height, and 56 in circumference, and the walls
are three feet eight inches in thickness. The other Tower, called Mac Carthy's,
is seven feet in diameter within, and the walls are three in thickness, and 56 in
height, including the conical shaped roof. The next considerable building we
find here, is the Cathedral, which was the ancient abbey (founded, in the year 548,
by St. Kieran) the doors of it are richly carved. There are several old monuments
in this church, on which are inscriptions, said to be partly in Hebrew and partly
in Irish. At length this abbey, which was formerly endowed with very large
C L O
possessions, suffered a gradual decline, and in the course of time was reduced and
despoiled of all its property. The cemetery contained about two Irish acres, on
which ten other churches were afterwards built by the Kings and petty Princes of
the circumjacent country, who, though at perpetual war whilst living, were con-
tent to rest peaceably beside each other. The several founders named these
churches as follows: Temple High, or Melaghlins Church, built by O'Melaghlin,
King of Meath, and to this day it is the burial-place of that family ; Temple O'Con-
nor, built by O'Connor Dun ; Temple Kelly ; Temple Finian, or Mac Carthy,
built by Mac Carthy-more of Munster; Temple Hurpan, or Mac Laffy's Church;
Temple Kieran ; Temple Gauney ; Temple Doulin, which is now the parish church ;
and Temple Mac Dermot ; this last was much larger than any of the others, and
before the West door stands a large old cross of one entire stone, much defaced
by time, on which was some rude carving, and an inscription in antique and un-
known characters : the North doors are very low, but guarded with small pillars
of fine marble, curiously hewn. Another of these churches hath within it an arch
of greenish marble, flat wrought, and beautifully executed, the joints of which are
so close, that the whole appears to be of one entire stone. Besides the cross
before mentioned, there are three others in the church-yard. Here we also find
Temple Easpic, or The Bishop's Chapel, and on the West of the cemetery lie some
ruins of the Episcopal Palace, which may still be seen. The 9th of September is
annually observed as the patron day, when great numbers from the most distant
parts of Ireland, assemble here in pilgrimage. A Religious House for nuns
appears to have been founded here early." — ArchdalCs Monast. Hibern. pp. 379-

cumbent (in 1806), who has cure of souls, is resident, and discharges the duties
in person, assisted by his Curate, The Rev. Thomas Stanestreet, at a Salary of

Robin might be separated from Clonmell, and each would provide maintenance
for an Incumbent; but the Union being by Act of Council, it is not in the
Bishop's power to dissolve it by his own authority. Clonmell is in the Diocese
of Cloyne, and Province of Cashel. It is adjacent to Cove, on the West. The

Clerk. The Right Hon. John Scott, Chief Justice of His Majesty's Court of
King's Bench in Ireland, was created Earl of Clonmell, in 1793- It is situate on
the navigable River Suir, over which there is a bridge of 20 arches, divided into
two parts by a small Island in the River, on which houses are built: the tide flows
a little way above the town. Here is a Charter School, for 60 boys. It gave birth
(on the 24th of November 1713) to The Rev. Laurence Sterne, the celebrated au-
thor of Tristram Shandy. This town is very ancient, having been erected before
the invasion of the Danes ; it was formerly defended by a strong wall. Oliver
Cromwell met with greater resistance here, than in any other part of the kingdom :
he demolished the Castles and Fortifications, of which now only the ruins remain.
C L O
The parishes in this Union are contiguous; their extent being very great. Ac-
cording to the Ecclesiastical Report, the entire Rectory of Clomnell, and the Vic-
arage of Kilgrant, ought to be perpetually united. Kilgrant would be of too
small value to stand alone. John Bagwell, Esq., is the Patron of the entire Rectory
of Clonmell; and the Crown is the Patron of the Vicarage of Kilgrant. — "A Do-
minican Friary was founded here, A. D. 1269, and dedicated to' St. Dominick. We
can not trace the founder of this monastery : But the Franciscan Friary owed its
origin, in 1269, to Otho de Grandison, although some writers erroneously give it to
the inhabitants of the town; and others, with as little certainty, make the family
of Fitzgerald the founders. The church of the friary was truly magnificent, and
esteemed one of the finest in Ireland; in this church was a miraculous image of St.
Francis. It is now the meeting-house of a Dissenting Congregation." — Arch-
dall's Hfonast. Hibern. p. 652.

warlike exploits. He filled this house with Regular Canons from the Monastery
of Lanthony in Monmouthshire, and dying in the year 1220, was interred in the
Chapter House of tliis priory. The Prior of this house was a Lord of Parliament,
to which he was seldom summoned. The priory is now so much gone to decay,
that scarcely any description can be given of its ruins ; one part supposed to be
the nave and choir, but between which, no distinct separation can be made, mea-
sures about two hundred feet in length, by twenty-five. Two Gothic windows
have alone resisted the ravages of time ; there are some pillars with curious cap-

Clerk, Common's Speaker, Sword Bearer, Gentleman Serjeant at Mace, and two City
Chaplains. The Military Officers arc a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Town
Major. It is situate on the River Lee, and is esteemed the second city in Ireland.
But now having a Royal Dock-yard near it, and other Military Arsenals ; to which
being added the conveniences of its local situation, and the wealth and enterprize
of its Inhabitants, its future progress is rendered incalculable. The Assizes are
holden here. The Harbour of Cork is so formed, according to Dr.JBeaufort, as to
contain an immense number of Ships, in complete security. And the banks of it,
being adorned with Villas and Plantations, present a most agreeable and chearful
Landscape. Vessels of one hundred and twenty tons go up to the City Qu:rys,
but the large ships lie at Passage, llrest, a few miles lower down. The mouth of
the harbour is protected by Carlisle Fort, the date of whose construction is pointed
out by the name. This City is the great Mart of the South of Ireland. The prin-
cipal articles of its export trade are Beef and Butter, together with a great quan-
tity of Corn, and some Linen. By those who are sensible of the happiness of
friendship the author will be forgiven, for here recording the bravery of a Native of
this City, — WILLIAM PARKER, Esquire, late Commander of the Honourable East
India Company's ship BRIDGEWATER. — now resident at Camberwell, in the County
of Surrey ; and whose ancestors have been uniformly as highly respected for their
virtues, as for the important offices which they repeatedly filled in Cork. On the
Sth of March 1779, Captain Parker being on his return from Bencoolen, fell in
COR
with the American Frigate CAMPDEN of 28 guns, and 300 men. The BRIDGE-
WATER had 26 guns, and only 84 men, many of whom were sickly. The action
commenced at 8 o'Clock in the morning, and lasted three hours ; when the frigate
sheered oflf with the loss of her captain and 19 seamen killed, and 25 wounded:
there was also an American Schooner in company with the frigate, but being to
leeward, and it blowing fresh, she could not get into action. For such a masterly
defence of his ship, and against such a very unequal force, it was " RESOLVED, at a
Court of Directors held on Thursday the 10th of June 1779, that in consideration
of the gallant defence made by the Officers and Seamen of the ship Bridgewater,
against an American Ship of War of superior force, which after an engagement
of some hours was obliged to sheer off, a gratuity of Two thousand pounds, be paid
to the said Officers and Seamen, in such proportion as shall be settled by the Com-
mittee of shipping. That Captain Parker do receive the Thanks of this Court for
his gallant conduct, and that he be presented with a piece of plate of One hundred
guineas value, with the Company's Anns engraved thereon." And from which this
Inscription is taken. There is a peculiar satisfaction in bearing due testimony to
merit! — The Hon. and Right Rev. Thomas St. Laurence, D. D., Lord Bishop, ia
1807. The foundation of the Bishoprick of Cork is placed in the Seventh century:
That of Ross is unknown; they were united by Queen Elizabeth, in 1586: They
are both contained in the county of Cork, and are partly intermixed. The Diocese
of Cork is 58 miles long from Eas to West, and about 13 miles broad. The length
of the principal part of Ross is 25 miles from East to West, and the breadth Smiles :
the detached part of it, in the mountains of Bear and Bantry, is about the same
length, but not more than four miles broad. Thewhole Union is about 65 miles
by 17. The Clvapters of these Dioceses consist each of a Dean, a Precentor,
a Chancellor, a Treasurer, and an Archdeacon ; there are besides 12 Prebendaries,
in Cork, and 5, in Ross. The Cathedral of St. Finbarry is a plain modern church.
Xear it stands the Bishop's Palace, a large new house, built but a few years, by
the late Bishop, Dr. Mann. It is 50 miles from the city of Cork, to the remotest
parts of Ross. — " St. Barr, Barroc, or Finbar, but by his parents named Lochan',
was of the race of the Ibriunratha ; he flourished about the year 600, and built an
Abbey, which, after time, was called The Abbey of St. Barr, or Finbar; this found-
ation is by some placed, A. D. 606. This abbey was founded near Lough-eirc;
which is generally supposed to be that particular hollow in which a great part of
the city of Cork stands. St. Barr died at Cloyne, but was interred in his own
church, where his bones were afterwards deposited in a silver Shrine: his Fes-
tival is holden on the 25th of September. In 1 134, this abbey was refounded, for
Regular Canons following the rule of St. Augustine, under the Invocation- of St.
John the Baptist, by Cormac, King of Minister, or, as some write, King of Desmond.
The Monks of this abbey erected the first Salmon Wiers on the River Lee, near
the city of Cork. The remains of this building were totally demolished .about
the year 1745. — Dennot Mac Carthy Reagh founded a Monastery, A. D. 1214,
COT
for Conventual Franciscans, and dedicated it to the Virgin Mary. This building,
which stood on the North side of the city, is now entirely demolished. — The
Dominican Friary, called The Abbey of St. Mary of the Island, was founded in
the year 1229. This house, which stood in an Island, called Cross-Green, on the
south side of the town, is now entirely demolished.— A Monastery was founded,
on the South side of the city, in the reign of King Edward the First for Friars
following the Rule of St. Augustine. Of this building, the steeple, which is 64
feet high, and the walls of the church, still remain ; the East window, the only
one in the choir, was truly magnificent, and measured 30 feet in height and 15
in breadth ; the whole erection was converted into a sugar-house, and is now
called, The Red Abbey'.— Dr. Bourke is the only author, who mentions the house
for White Friars. — The Nunnery of St. John the Baptist, of which there are now
no remains, was situated near the present market-house, and the site was
accidentally discoveredin digging up some old tombs.— There was a Preceptory of
the Knights Templars in this town, for we find that William le Chaplain was
Master of Cork about the 1292.— The Priory of St. Stephen was founded in
the South suburbs of this city for the support of Lepers, and Edward Henry was
keeper of it, A. D. 1295. This priory, .when suppressed, was granted to the city
of Cork, and about the year 16?4, an hospital for poor children, now called, The
Blue Coat Hospital, was erected on the ancient sheS'—Archdairs Monast. Hibern.

Aylmer Bourke Lambert, Esq., who traversed this mountain, it appears that " The
Irica daboecia, and other curious plants and mosses, grow luxuriantly here. It is
esteemed the highest mountain in Ireland, and rises 2666 feet above the level of
the sea. On its side are several heaps of loose stones, and especially one over the
grave of a mother and four children, who came from a great distance to perform,
and there all perished from the severity of the weather. Upon its summit, which
is a flat of about a quarter of an acre of an oval form, is an open kind of place,
built with loose stones, which is called, The Chapel of St. Patrick; and near it, is
a hut, covered with turf, and surrounded with stone seats in the interior, for re-
freshment of the weary pilgrims. There are also several little piles of loose stones,
which are used as altars. The view from hence, for grandeur and variety, surpasses
description !"

DERG, LOUGH, or, THE RED LAKE, in the Barony of Tyrhugh, Co. of
DONEGAL, and Province of Ulster. It is 20 m. N. N. W. from Enniskillen. It is
in the parish of Templecarne. — " In this Lough there are several Islands, the
largest is called The Island of St. Dabeoc, some call it St. Fintan's Island, and others
the Island of Saints. In this Island was a Priory of Canons Regular following the
Rule of St. Augustin, which was dedicated to the Saints Peter and Paul, and
D E R
founded, as some say, by the great Apostle of Ireland, but others give the found-
ation to St. Dabeoc, who was also called Mobeoc and Beonan ; he was brother to
St. Canoe, who flourished about the year 492. St. Dabeoc is Patron of this church,
where three Festivals are holden to his honour'yearly, on the 1st of January, 24th
of July, and 16th of December. St. Dabeoc is said to have been buried in this
abbey, which he made subject to the great Abbey of Armagh. It had a new
Chapel, witli convenient houses for the Monks, the remains of which may yet be
seen. One of the Saint Patricks was Prior here about the year 850. — Notwith-
standing the reputed holiness of this celebrated monastery, it was plundered and
reduced to ashes by Bratachas O'Boyle and Mac Mahon. A. D. 1207. John was
Prior, in 1353. — St. Patrick's Purgatory, as it is called, was first fixed in this Isl-
and, but it being near to the shore, and a bridge from the main-land giving the peo-
ple a free and easy access into it, the cave was closed up, and another was opened
in a lesser Island, about half a mile from the shore. Some people have given the
invention of this purgatory to the great St. Patrick, but others, with more proba-
bility, ascribe it to Patrick who was Prior here about the year 850. This pur-
gatory continued a long time in high repute both at home and abroad. We find,
in our records, several safe conducts granted by the Kings of England to for-
eigners desirous to visit it, and particularly in the year 1358, to Maletesta Un-
garus, Knt. ; another bearing the same date, to Nicholas de Beccario, a Nobleman
of Ferraria ; and, in 1397, one to Raymond, Viscount de Perilleux and Knight of
Rhodes, with a train of 20 Men and 30 Horses. But this purgatory must have
fallen afterwards into disrepute, for we find, that by the authority of the Pope,
Alexander VI (he having considered the same in the light of imposition), it was
demolished on St. Patrick's Day, in the the year 1497, by the Father Guardian
of the Franciscans of Donegal, and some other persons of the Deanery, of Lough-
ern, who were deputed for this purpose by the Bishop. A Canon of the priory of
St. Dabeoc usually resided on the Island, for the service of the church and pil-
grims.— The extent of this island is scarcely three quarters of an Irish acre ; the
Cave of the purgatory is built of free-stone, and covered with broad flags and
green turf laid over them ; in length, within the walls, it measures sixteen feet
and an half, and in breadth, about two feet and an inch; when the door is shut,
no light can be discovered, save what enters at a small window in the corner. In
1630, the government of Ireland thought fit to have it finally suppressed, and it
was accordingly dug up, to the no small distress and loss of the Roman Catholic
C\ci^y.n—ArchdairsMonaat. Hibern. p. 102. It is said to have been called formerly
Fin Lough, or, The White. Lake.

D IN
of Conought. He was also Abbot of Inbernaile, in the county of Donegal, and of
Kilnaille in Breffmia. — This abbey was a large and curious building, and the
workmanship remarkably good: to the East of it stands a beautiful Round towen
76 feet high, and 41 in circumference: the walls, which are three feet thick, are
built of hewn stone, each stone about a foot square, within and without, and with
scarcely any cement or mortar: the roof is in the form of a cone, and of the
same materials, and finished with one large stone, shaped like a bell : with four
windows (.and the form of a man's face over each) near the top, and opposite to
the cardinal points: the door is nine feet from the ground; the inside of the
building is nearly as smooth as the barrel of a gun, and on the outside, at the base,
a circle of stone projects five inches. The church, which is the most easterly
building, was large and beautiful, with a noble carved window over the High
Altar : next to this window, to the right, about ten feet from the ground, is the
following Inscription, the letters and points of which are raised;
Matheus O'Dubagan hoc opus fecit Bartholomeo
O'Flannagan priori de Daminis. A. D. 14 19.
Round this Inscription is a frame, somewhat raised, with another inscription on it,
which is now illegible. — Next to the tower is a vaulted building of hewn stone,
which ends in a point, and is called St. Molaise's House ; near to this is his bed, in
the shape of a stone coffin, in which he used to pray. The neighbouring inhabit-
ants say, that pains in the back are relieved by lying in this bed. — There appears
to have been many ancient inscriptions here, but they are all erased and destroyed
by time. — In the interpolations of the Ulster Annals, at the year 1130, we read,
that the monastery of Daminis was founded that year. The author must mean
either the repairing of the ancient monastery of St. Laserian, or the founding of the
Priory of the Colidei, or Secular Priests here." — Archdalfs Monast. Hibern.

proportion to that of the Protestants, that, in several parishes, the latter are more
than ten to one. In one of these parishes, it was found, on an enumeration, that
amidst more than 3000 families, there was but one of Roman Catholicks. The
Foundation of this Diocese (valued in the King's Books at ,£50. sterling) is ascribed,
according to Dr. Beaufort, to St. Colman in the Sixth century. It is extremely
compact, and the smallest in extent of any Bishoprick in the kingdom, which is
not annexed to another See; extending only 28 miles from North to South, and
17 miles from East to West. Yet it comprehends some part of three Counties.

peculiar privileges, by patent of James I., is composed of a Dean, Precentor (see,
Magherallti), Chancellor (see, Clonallen), Treasurer, Archdeacon (see, Donough-
cloney}, and one Prebendary. The Lordship of Newry claims the same exemption
from Episcopal jurisdiction; to which it was entitled when it appertained to a
monastery, before the Reformation. And the Proprietor of the Lordship (Mr.
Needham) exercises the jurisdiction in his peculiar court, granting marriage
licenses, probates to wills, &c., under the old monkish seal. The Cathedral of
Dromore is very small ; but the Bishops house which was erected a few years ago
by Dr, Beresford, is a handsome and convenient residence, near the town ; And
not 20 miles distant from any part of the Diocese. — " It takes its name from its
situation, being built on the side of an Hill, and owes its origin to St. Colman. —
An Abbey of Regular Canons was founded here by the same Saint, called also
Mocholmoc, he was a disciple of Mac Nissy, Bishop of Connor, who died A. D.

Dublin is in the Dioceses of Dublin and Glandelagh, and Province of Dublin.
The Right Hon. and Most Reverend Euseby Cleaver, D. D., Archbishop of

returns two Members to Parliament ; the Electors being, Freemen and Freeholders.
TheUNivEKSiTY, being- a Borough in itself, returns also one Member; the Election
being in, The Fellows and Scholars. It is called Eblana Civitas by Ptolomey.
According to Dr. Beaufort, it is impossible to give even an adequate Sketch of the
DUB
City of Dublin in a short tract ; but it would be unpardonable to omit some of
its principal features. It extends above two rniles in every direction, and is rapidly
increasing in size, opulence, and beauty. The River Liffey, which passes through
its centre, is crossed by six Bridges, one of which is of great elegance. The
Harbour is defended from the inclemency of the winds and waves by a strong
mole or wall, extending nearly four miles in length, and terminating with a
Light-house, which is erected about a mile from the Eastern and adjacent to the
Southern bar. Corresponding to this handsome and useful Pharos, there stands
on the Promontory of Hoath, which forms the North side of the Bay, another
very complete Light-house. The vast number of country-houses, and neat villages,
which cover the shores of the Bay, the varied and undulating summits of the
Wicklow Mountains in the southern back-ground, and the prospect of the City
at the West end, compose one of the grandest scenes that can be imagined. Of
the many Public Edifices that adorn it, the most remarkable are, — THE CASTLE,
which stands nearly in the middle of the city, and is the residence of the Vice-
roy,— THE PARLIAMENT-HOUSE; — THEUNIVERSITV,— THE ROYAL EXCHANGE, —
and THE CUSTOM-HOUSE ;— all buildings of great magnificence. THE COURTS of
JUSTICE are almost finished in the same style,— THE LINEN HALL,— THE BAR-
RACKS,—HOSPITALS for Invalids,— for the children of sailors and of soldiers, for
the education of youth, and for the reception of the aged and infirm of various
descriptions— are too numerous to mention separately. THE ROYAL IRISH
ACADEMY was incorporated in 1786. THE DUBLIN SOCIETY, for the improvement
of agriculture and useful arts, which was incorporated so early as the year 1749,
has truly answered the end of its institution, by promoting objects of the utmost
importance to Ireland. Two Canals are begun on the opposite sides of the river,
with which they are immediately to communicate. The Southern Navigation
extends upwards of forty miles, to the River Barrow, which is navigable ; and a
branch of this canal is carried on in a western direction towards the Shannon.
The Northern Canal has also communication with that great River in the County
of Longford, and, by a collateral Cut unites with the Boyne navigation. To the
West end of the town adjoins THE PHOZNIX PARK, a Royal Demesne of great
beauty, which extends above two miles in length, and a mile and an half in
breadth, on the North side of the Liffey. The Corporation of this City consists
of a Lord Mayor, Recorder, 24 Aldermen (all of whom are Justices of the Peace),
two Sheriffs, a Common Council, and other Officers. It is almost needless to say,
that most branches of commerce and every kind of trade are exercised in Dublin,
and that the city is daily advancing in wealth and industry. The first mention,
which we find of the See of Dublin, is in the Seventh century. In the year 1 152
it was erected into an Archbishoprick, which is valued in the King's Books at
£534,.. 15..%% Irish Money : And, in 1£14, the Bishoprick of Glandelagh, which
had been founded in the Sixth century, was incorporated with Dublin. It is 50
D u B
miles in length, from North to South, and 36 miles in the greatest breadth ; con-
taining the whole county of Dublin, the most of Wicklow, and part of two other
counties, The Chapter of ST. PATRICK'S, Dublin, consists of the Dean (who is
elective by the Archbishop and Chapter), the Precentor, Chancellor, Treasurer, two
Archdeacons, of Dublin and Glandelagh, and nineteen Prebendaries. The Members
of the Collegiate Chapter of CHRIST CHURCH are the Dean, Precentor, Chancellor,
Treasurer, the Archdeacon of Dublin, and three Prebendaries : This Deanery is
annexed to the Bishoprick of Kildare. The Cathedral of St. Patrick is a large
and venerable Pile ; and the Archbishop's Palace is a very antique building. His
Grace has also a small Country Residence at Talkgh, of no very modern date.
The most remote part of the Dioeese is thirty four miles from Dublin. The
General Post-office was established by Act of Parliament, on the 1st of August
1784: The present Post-Masters General (in 1810) are The Right Hon. Earl O'Neil,
and The Right Hon, the Earl of Ross : The Secretaries are Sir John Lees, Bart.,
and Edward S. Lees, Esq. There are six Packets between Dublin and Holyhead^
and two Packet Wherries. The Mails for England leave Dublin every evening,
except Sunday, and are due in Dublin every day, except Wednesday. — " The
celebrated Religious Foundation of the Abbey of the Virgin Mary owes its origin
to the Danes, about the year 948> immediately after their conversion to Christianity;
although others fondly ascribe it to some of our Irish princes. At the first it was
of the Benedictine Order, then the most celebrated in the Western world. In
1139, it was granted to the Monks of the Cistertian order. On the 27th of May,
1304, this beautiful and noble abbey, with the church and steeple, were destroyed
by fire : At this time it was the Repository of the Rolls of Chancery, which
were all consumed, to the 28th of King Edward the First, except two Rolls of
that year. The Abbot had a Seat in Parliament as a Baron.— By the testimony of
a venerable Record, The Black Book of Christ Church, we are informed, that
about the year of Our Lord 1038, Sitric, the son of Ableb, or rather Aulif, the
Danish Prince of Dublin, gave to Donat, Bishop of that See, a> place, where the
Arches or Vaults were founded, to erect a Church to the honour of The Blessed
Trinity. Donat built an Episcopal Palace contiguous to the church. The
Religious of this Community were Secular Canons, not tied to the observance of
strict monastic rules, or belonging to any of the Cenobitical Orders : yet
they were a sort of Monks lax in discipline, and bound to such regulations
as the Bishop prescribed. On the advancement of Laurence OToole to the
See of Dublin, in A. D. 1163, he made them Canons Regular of the Order of
Arras, a branch of the Augustinians. On the llth of January 1283, certain of
the Scotch Nation, to retaliate upon some of the citizens for doing them an injury,
set Skinner-Row on fire, which communicating to this church, destroyed the
steeple and chapter-house, with the dormitory and cloisters. It is recorded, to
the honour of the citizens on this occasion, that they agreed to make a collection
DUB
sufficient for repairing the priory, before they would repair their own dwellings
which had suffered by the fire. In the year 1300, a final and amicable agreement
was made between the Prior and Canons of The Holy Trinity and the Dean
and Chapter of St. Patrick's Cathedral, which was strengthened by the Com-
mon Seal of each Chapter. The principal heads of it were, That the Arch-
bishop should be consecrated and enthroned in Christ Church; that each church
should be called Cathedral and Metropolitical ; that Christ Church as being the
greater, the mother, and the elder church, should have the precedence in all. rights
and concerns of the church; that the cross, mitre, and ring of every Archbishop,
in whatever place he died, should be deposited in Christ Church; and that each
church should have their turn in the interment of the bodies of their Archbishop,
unless otherwise ordered by their wills. In 1538, St. Patrick's Stpjf, that was
brought hither from Armagh, as a relique of high estimation, was publicly com-
mitted to the flames. The Prior of the Holy Trinity always sat as a Baron in
Parliament. In 1541, King Henry the Eighth, by Letters Patent, dated the 10th
of May, changed the Priory into a Dean and Chapter, confirming their ancient
estates and immunities, and made Payneswick, who was the last Prior, the first
Dean ; but it is to be remarked, that in some leases of lands, dated the 4th of Der
cember 1540, he is named Dean. — In the year 1 146, Dermot, the son of Murchard,
King of Leinster, founded an Abbey, for Nuns following the Rule of St. Augustin,
in a village called Tlogges, adjoining the East end of the City of Dublin, and near
the present church of St. Andrew. No women were admitted into this house,
till they were past the age of thirty years. — It is supposed, that the Knights
Templars had a Priory in a place, called Casgot, in the South suburbs of the
city ; and that Walter de Fernsfield was a great benefactor to it. Probably this is
the place, where now stands the palace of the Archbishop, in St. Kevin's Street.
—The Nunnery of St. Mary les Dames was situated without the East gate of the
city, which from thence was called, The Gate of St. Mary les Dames, and the
avenue leading from the Castle to the University acquired the name of Dame
Street. In 148?, the person, called Lambert Simnell, being supported by divers
of the Nobility, was crowned King in the Priory of The Holy Trinity, by the
name of Edward; the crown made use of, on this occasion, was borrowed from
the statue of the Blessed Virgin, which stood in the church of this Nunnery. —
King Henry the Second having granted the City of Dublin to a Colony from
Bristol, they built the Abbey of St. Olave for such of their countrymen as should
be inclined to embrace the order of St, Augustin, and called it from the abbey of
the same order and name in their native town. — Very little is known of the
monastery of Witeschan.— The Priory of All Hallows, or All Saints, was situated
on Hoggin-Green, now called College-Green, and was founded about the year
1 166, for Canons of the Order of Aroasia, by Diarmit, the son of Murchard, King
of Leinster. In 15<p, in Easter Holy days, the city, at the persuasion qf
D Lv L
Archbishop Loftus, granted the priory for the founding of an University ; and'
the whole building, the steeple excepted, was for that purpose immediately
demolished. — The Abbey of St. Thomas was founded in that part of Dublin, no\v
called Thomas Court, for Canons of the Congregation of St. Victor, by William
Fitz Andelm, butler to King Henry the Second.— The Priory of St. John the
Baptist was situated in St. Thomas Street, without the West, or the New Gate, of
the city. A Roman Catholic Chapel is erected on part of the site of this Priory;,
the ancient steeple still remains.— The Friary of St. Saviour, in Oslmantown, on
the North bank of the River, near tbe old bridge, is now called The King's Inns.
It was founded near the gieat bridge (on the place where stood the Chapel of
St. Saviour), between the years 1202 and 1218, by William Mareschal the elder,
Earl of Pembroke. The whole site was afterwards appropriated to the use of the
lawyers, and is called The King's Inns, where a magnificent building is erected,
which contains the Courts of Law, the Rolls, and all the other Public offices ap-
pertaining thereto. — The Monastery of St, Francis was built in the year 1235, upon
a piece of ground given for that purpose by Ralph le Porter, and was situated in
that part of the suburbs of the city, which is now called Francis Street,— The
Monastery of The Holy Trinity was founded about the year 1259, for Friars of
the Order of St. Augustin, by one of the family of Talbpt. It was a very consid-
erable foundation, and was the general College for all the Friars of that Order in
Ireland. This monastery was situated on the ground whereon Crow Street, with
a Theatre and other buildings, have been since erected — The Carmelite Monastery,
or White Friars, was built by Sir Robert Bagot, Knt., Chief Justice of the King's
Bench, in the reign of King Edward the First, in the parish of St. Peter, in the
"South suburbs of the city. — Very little mention is made of the Hospital of St.
Stephen, which was situate in the South suburbs of the city ; and on the site
whereof Mercer's Charitable Hospital has been erected. — Henry Loundres, Arch-
bishop of Dublin, about the year 1220, founded an Hospitaj, in honour of God and
St. James, in a place, called The Steyne, near the city of Dublin. — John Allen,
Dean of the Cathedral of St. Patrick, in 1504, founded an Hospital for sick poor,
to be chosen principally out of the families of Allen, Barret, Begge, Hill, Dillon,
and Rodier, in the Dioceses of Meath and Dublin."— ArchdalCs Monust. Hibern.

Dowth, 20 acres, about the same distance from the church: The Rev. William
Sheir Hamilton, the Incumbent (in 1806), who has cure ot souls, is resident, and
discharges the duties. According to the Ecclesiastical Report, immediately con-
DUN
nected with each other, in this district, are ten parishes, all Impropriate in The
Marquess of Drogheda, and of which His Lordship is the Patron. A new distri-
bution of them, with a view to form them into permanent Unions, would be
highly expedient. As Episcopally united, they now intersect each other, and to
procure residence is impracticable, as long as they continue Episcopally united or
distinct, two years income of each separate parish being insufficient to build a
Glebe House; but the Patron's consent, as the law now stands, is an essential
preliminary. The Marquess of Urogheda formerly paid «£?. per annum, for the
Cure of Dulcek, but this His Lordship now withholds. The Income of Duleek is
£3. per annum, of Clonalvey £60., of Stamullin <£40., and of Dowth <£27. Total
<£l50. Duleek is in the Diocese of Mea-th, and Province of Armagh. It is 20f m.

fVater. This parish contains 10,236 acres of land. The parishes of Duleek,
Clonalvey, and Stamullin, are contiguous : That of Dowth is separated from
Duleek by the River Boyne.—" An Abbey was built here by St. Patrick, who
placed St. Kienan, or Cienan over it, whom he had baptized in the year 450;
And this Saint, after residing a considerable time in France, returned to Ireland,
and erected a church of lime and stone here. The choir of the great church of
St. Kieuan is now the parish church. — We find, in a close Roll, '29°. Edward III,
that a Priory was founded here for Regular Canons, by one of the family of
O'Kelly, long before the arrival of the English. — There was also an Hospital here."

belonging to Richard Earl of Pembroke, made a considerable grant of divers lands
to St. Mary and St. Benedict, and to the Monks of the Abbey of Bildewas in
Shropshire, England, for the purpose of erecting an Abbey here for Monks of the
Cistertian order. This Charter was Avitnessed by Felix, who was consecrated
Bishop of Ossory in the year 1 178. The Abbot sat as a Baron in Parliament. The
ruins of this very extensive abbey exhibit an awful and picturesque scene. The
interior walls of the church are nearly entire, as is the chancel, on each side of
which (in the wings of the church) are three chapels, vaulted and groined ; the
great aisle is divided into three parts by a double row of arches, supported by
square piers; the inside of those arches have a molding which springs from beau-
tiful consoles : The tower, rather low in proportion to the rest of the building, is
supported by a grand arch ; the cloisters appear to have been spacious, but their
foundations alone remain : some other ruinous walls indicate where the Hall, the
Refectory, the Dormitory, &c., stood. The West window of an uncommon form,
is entire, and the door immediately beneath it was very magnificent, being adorned
with filigree open-work, cut in the stone, and so raised as to allow a finger easily
under it ; one precious fragment of this curious work remains. The Chapel at
Portumna, in the County of Gal way, was a dependant of this abbey." — ArchdalCs

of it was on the 16th of May. Sir William died on the 12th of February, A. D.
1324, and was interred here. — The tomb of the founder, Sir William de Burgh,
was discovered in June 1779, upwards of four feet under ground, with his family
arms, and a very long broad sword elegantly carved thereon. Some remains of this
Friary are still to be seen. — Near the West Gate of the town, without the walls,
was the Monastery of St. Mary of the Hill, a daughter to that of The Holy
Trinity of the Premonstratenses of Tuam. On the Nuns forsaking it, the Secular
Clergy entered into and kept possession for a considerable time, but on the pe-
tition of the inhabitants of the Town to Pope Innocent VIII, it was granted to
the Dominican Friars, by a Bull dated the 4th of December, 1488. There are no
remains of this foundation save the cemetery, the whole building having been de-
molished by the Townsmen in the year \65<2, in order to prevent Oliver Crom-
well from turning it into a fortification against themselves. — The Augustinian
Friary was founded on a Hill near this town, by Stephen Lynch, son of Dom-
inick Duff (who was many times Mayor of Galway) and Margaret his wife, in
the year 1508, at the earnest solicitation of Richard Nangle, a Friar of the
same order, who afterwards became Archbishop of Tuam. — A Carmelite Friary

GIANTS CAUSEWAY, in the Barony of ^ary, Co. of ANTRIM, and Prov-
ince of Ulster. It is 122 in. N. from Dublin. The following account of the
Giant's Causewav is taken from a communication of The Rev. Richard Pocock,
G I A
LL. D., to.Xhe Royal Society of London, and inserted in the Philosophical
Transactions, vol. 48. part 1. pp. 226. et seq. — " In a Letter, which I wrote in
1747 to Martin Folkes, Esq., President of The Royal Society, which was
read in January, and printed in the Philosophical Transactions for that month,
I observed, in relation to the Giant's Causeway, that there appeared in the
Sea-Cliffs three strata of Pillars between 30 and 40 feet high, with strata of a
black Rock between them ; that the Causeway itself was the lowest of all
these, extending in a point into the sea; and that another is seen towards the
top of the Cliff. Last summer I took another view of it ; I went from Bally-
Castle, which is about 10 miles to the East of the Causeway. When I came two
miles to the West of Bally-Castle, within less than a mile of Ballintoy, half a mile
to the South of the Sea-cliffs, and about a quarter to the South of the road, I saw
the same kind of Pillars in a low hill ; I observed both Hexagons and Pentagons.
The Rocks towards the sea appeared as if they were formed in the same manner ;
but when I came to them, I found it was only common rock in several strata, and
perpendicular joints. I went on about two miles to a Peninsula, called Don-
severik, where I saw some tendency iu the rock towards this work of nature; and
going about half a mile further, came to the beginning of the pillars in the Sea-cliff,
as I believe, about five miles from the Causeway ; and the shore and cliffs being
shaped mostly in little semicircular Bays, I had many very beautiful views of the
upper and middle strata of Pillars : in one, particularly, they had much of the ap-
pearance of ruined Portico's one over the other; and turning the little end of a Spy-
«glass, it appeared something like the ruins of Palmyra, as a View of them is repre-
sented in a Copper-plate, published in the Philosophical Transactions. This won-
derful work of nature is continued on in the cliffs for about a quarter of a mile
beyond the Giant's Causeway. I saw it again in the road to Coleraine, five miles to
the West of the Causeway, in a low hill a furlong to the South of the Road, and two
miles to the South of the Sea. The Pillars here arc small ; and being about a mile
and a half from Ballimagarry, where the Earl of Antrim has a ruined house, lately
burnt down, it served, as I suppose, for a Quarry for building part of that bouse
in which I saw a great number of the stones, and particularly one of nine sides.
I saw others near two miles farther, to the South of the road in a low hill, within
two miles of Coleraine ; so that the whole extends for about eleven Irish miles,
or fourteen English. — As I spent a week at the Causeway, and sent away by sea to
Dublin as great a variety of the stones as C could conveniently get, particularly a
large octagon, Avith the eight large stones round it ; a pair of less, with eight
pair, that encompass it ; two small pentagon pillars, about fourteen inches over,
one of them 3 feet 10J inches high, the other 5 feet 7 inches ; one hexagon pillar,
about the same size, and 5 feet 5 inches high; all which I have placed in my
garden ; so I have had an opportunity of considering it at leisure. It is a black
stone, weighty and brittle : and I have been informed, that it was tried in a Glass-
house, and that it melted with kelp, so as to make the black glass bottles : which
2s
G L A
experiment, I have been told, was made by Mr. Dobbs of this kingdom, who is
now in London. — In relation to the joints in the pillars, this work of nature seems
to be different from any thing yet known : and it must be very difficult to assign
any satisfactory causes of it."

,nn, and Dublin. — " This was an ancient Episcopal See, and a well inhabited City,
till about 1214, when the See was annexed to the Diocese of Dublin: And the
City, memorable for its Religious edifices, not only suffered by decay, but insen-
sibly became a receptacle for outlaws and robbers. The Archbishops of Dublin
eould not obtain quiet possession till 1479, in which year, on the 30th of May, a
surrender was made in the Cathedral of St. Patrick, Dublin, by Friar Dennis
White, who had long usurped that See, in opposition to the Regal authority :
From this Eera, Glandelagh has continued a desert : here the Mountains cast a melan-
choly gloom on the inferior valley, contracting every prospect ; and so awful, so
venerable is the scene, that, even to a momentary beholder, it appears as if formed
for the study of the Eremetic life: Such was the situation chosen by St. Coemgene,
or Keivin, who, descended from a Noble family, was born, A. D. 498 ; this Saint
received the Sacrament of Baptism from the hands of St. Cronan, a priest, and at.
the age of seven years he was placed under the care and tuition of Petrocus, a
Briton, who had passed many years in this kingdom for the exercise of learning.
Under this Reverend man St. Keivin continued till 510, when his parents, Coinlogh
and Coemhella, sent him to the cell of Dogain, Lochan, and TEneas or Enna,
three holy Anachorites, with whom he studied a considerable time, previous to
his embracing the Monastic profession ; after which he took upon him the cowl
and retired to these Wilds, where he wrote many learned works, particularly the
life of St. Patrick, and where, he founded his Abbey, under the Invocation of St.
Peter and St. Paul : Here he presided as Abbot and Bishop for a series of years,
on the approach of death he received the sacrament from the hands of St.
Mochuorog, and died on the 3d of June, A. D. 618, having nearly completed the
uncommon and venerable age of one hundred and twenty years. His eminent
virtues, his exemplary sanctity, and the miracles said to have been wrought by the
Saint, drew multitudes from towns and cities, from ease and affluence, from the cares
and avocations of civil life, and from the comforts and joys of society, to be spec-
tators of his pious acts and sharers in his merits, and, with him, to encounter every
severity of climate and condition: This influence extended even to Britain, and
induced St. Mochuorog to convey himself hither, who fixed his Residence in a
Cell on the East side of Glendalogh, where a city soon sprang up, and a seminary
was founded, from whence \v ere sent forth many saints and exemplary men, whose
sanctity and learning diffused around the Western world that universal light of
letters and .religion, which, in the eaj-lier ages, shone so. resplendent throughout
G L A
this remote, and, at that time, tranquil Isle, and were almost exclusively confined
to it. On the 3d of June, annually, numbers of every sex and age flock to the
Seven Churches, and there celebrate the Festival of the esteemed and venerated
§t. Kervin. The ruins of this abbey (being the first which a traveller perceives)
are situated in the bottom of the vale, and consist of two buildings parallel to
each other (the larger one, on the South, being the church) ; on the East end of
the abbey is an arch, of extremely curious workmanship ; the columns on the
sides recede one behind another, and are very short, but do not diminish : the
capitals are ornamented in a singular manner, most of them with human heads at
the angles, and dragons or other fabulous animals at the sides ; the heads have
much the appearance of those in Egyptian sculpture, with large ears, long eyes,
and the tresses of the hair strait; the ring-stones of the arch are indented trian-
gularly, in imitation of the Saxon architecture, and in some parts human heads
and other ornaments are within the triangular mouldings. On the removal of
some heaps of rubbish from under the ruins of this arch, a few stones beautifully
carved were found, many of them belonging to the arches, and some to the archi-
trave of the \vindow : the architrave is twelve inches broad, and a pannel is sunk,
ornamented lozenge-wise, and an ovelo forms the lozenge, with a bead running
on each side ; the centre of the lozenge is decorated on one side, in has relief,
with a knot delicately carved; the other with a flower in the centre, and mould-
ings corresponding to the shape of the lozenge. The half-lozenge, at the bottom
of the pilaster, in one is filled with a bas relief of a human head, with a bird on
each side pecking at the eye, and the other by a dragon, twisting its head round
and the tail turned up between its legs into the mouth. Here is another stone,
apparently the capital of a column ; two sides of it are visible, both are ornamented
with a patera, but each side in a different manner; one consists of a flower of
sixteen large leaves and fifteen smaller ones, relieved the eighth of an inch, and
the other of six leaves branching from the centre, with another leaf extending
between their points. — In describing the other ruins of this desolated city (which
appears to have been built in an elegant style of Grecian architecture), we in some
measure outstep the bounds originally prescribed, in which Monastic dwellings
were alone included; but their contiguity to the abbey, which we have just now
quitted, induces us to proceed to the next erection, called THE CHURCH OF THE
TRINITY ; It stands on a rising ground, North of the Abbey ; and, as the inhabit-
ants say, was dedicated to the Holy Trinity ; in the front of this church is a cir-
cular building upon a square base, which evidently was intended for a belfry, a
sufficient space being left for the rope to come down. Hence let us come to THE
SEVEN CHuaciiEs, for which Glandelagh has been for many centuries remarkable,
and for which it will be celebrated, even when the vestiges now remaining are
no more. The entrance to the area, on which these churches stand, is on the
North-east side, through the ruins of a gateway, sixteen feet six inches in length,
G L A
by sixteen feet in width; the arches, which are still entire, are nine feet seven
inches wide and ten feet high, and the ring-stones, of mountain granite, are the
full depth of the wall ; the outside arch is composed of twenty four stones, and
the inside one of twenty seven, which are two feet six inches in depth. — THE
CATHEDRAL CHURCH ranks as the first, and owes its origin to St. Keivin, by
whom it was dedicated to the Patron Saints of the Abbey. It measures forty
eight feet in length and thirty in width ; on the South side were three small
windows, and at the East end was an arch seventeen feet six inches wide, behind
which was another building thirty seven feet six inches in length, by twenty
three feet in width, with a beautiful window at the East end, on the North are
two small ones, and erne on the South, with a door three feet eight inches wide,
communicating to a small building of sixteen feet by ten, the door of the church
is seven feet four inches high, three feet six inches wide at top, and three feet ten
at bottom : the jambs are composed of four courses and a lintel at top, over which is a
discharging arch ; the stones are the entire depth of the walls, with a reveal cut
at the inside for the door, which appears to have turned on pivots ; holes are cut
for bars across, and iron cramps and bolts appear in some places;, several courses-
of this building are of hewn stone, as well as a kind of pilasters, which project
from the ends of the wall to the front ami rear, and measure two feet six inches
in width ; the wall of the building to the East, within these, is detached, and has
the appearance of a more modern style. Under a small window, at the South side
of the choir, is a tomb of freestone, ornamented, and in. the cemetery stands a
Round tower, one hundred and ten feet highr uncommonly well built, and in fine'
preservation^ the roof alone having suffered by time ; at the bottom it measure*
fifty two feet in girth, and the walls are four feet thick. The remains- of several
crosses may still be seen amongst these ruins, and that situated in the cemetery of
this chinch, particularly merits notice, being one entire stone,, eleven feet in
height.— ST. KEIVIN'S KITCHEN (its vulgar appellation), was undoubtedly one of
the Seven Churches, and is now almost entire, having suffered alone in the ruin/
of a window, the only one in the church, this was placed about eight feet from,
the South-east angle, and was ornamented with aa architrave elegantly wrought,
but being of free-stone, it was conveyed away by the neighbouring inhab-
itants, and brayed to powder for domestic use. The area of this church mea-
sures twenty two feet nine inches by fifteen, in height it is twenty feet, and the
walls are three feet six in thickness ; at the East end is an arch five feet three
inches in width, which communicates to another building ten feet six in lengthr
by nine feet three in width; on the North side of which is a door two feet two1
inches wide, which communicates with another chapel of tire same length, and;
seven feet nine inches in width; each of these buildings has a small window in
the centre to the East, the walls are three feet thick, and both measure twelve
feet in height. The foundation, with two or three courses of the building, is laid:
G L A
of cut inountain grit ; the door is six feet eight inches high, two feet four inches
wide at top, and two feet eight inches at bottom, most of the stones run through
the entire thickness of the wall ; the lintel is five feet eight inches in length, hy
eleven inches and an half in depth, and a rude corriice, projecting about five
inches, and measuring four feet ten inches long, by six inches in depth, is worked
out of the same stone. A round Belfry rises from the West end of the church, the
entrance to it is through a square hole in the cove of the church, over which,
between the cove and the roof, is a large space, open to the belfry, that received
its light from a small window. The height of (his tower is about forty five
feet; the roof, both of the church and tower, is composed of thin stones, very
neatly laid, and with a very high pitch ; the ridge of the roof is about thirty feet
above the ground, and the double building at the rear, is only twenty feet; hav-
ing ascended the roof of this building, we discover a groove cut in the East end
of the larger building, which shews that this was not the original tower, but
much higher and narrower than the former; indeed the walls of the double
building are separated from those of the larger, and, though undoubtedly very an-
cient, yet the inferiority of the materials and workmanship, evidently show that
this work was posterior to the former, and erected by much less skilful builders.—
Oun LADY'S CHURCH, the most Westward of the seven, and nearly opposite to-
the Cathedral, is now almost in ruins; but from the doorway, and the few remains
of walls, it appears to have been built with more knowledge of the art than the
other buildings. The door consists of only three courses ; the lintel is five feet
six inches in length, and fourteen inches and an half in depth ; the door is six
feet four in height, two feet six in width at top, and two feet ten at bottom; a
kind of architrave is worked round the door six inches broad, and in the bottom
of the lintel an ornament is wrought in a cross resembling the flyer of a stamping-
press. The walls are carried up with hewn stone, in general of a large size, to
about the height of the door, and the remainder are of the rude mountain rag-stone,
but laid incomparably well. At the East end was an arch of hewn stone exactly
similar to that of the Cathedral. — THE RHEFEART, literally the Sepulchre of Kings,
is famous for having seven princes interred within its limits ; in this church is
the tomb of Mac Mthuil, or O'Toole, the ancient Chieftain of the country, with
the following inscription, in the Irish character :—
JESUS CHRIST
Mile Deach Feuch Corp Re Mac Mthuil.
Sec here the Resting-place of the body of King Mac Thuill, who died in Christ 1010.
Many others of this family are said to have been interred here, where a stone
cross, elegantly carved, is still preserved. — PHIOHY OF ST. SAVIOUR, commonly
called the Eastern Church. Of this building, little can be said, the foundation
only remaining; but about five years since, a quantity of stone, remarkably well
G L A
wrought, was discovered here, and on removing an heap of rubbish, the collection
of many centuries, two clusters of columns weie found, with curious emblematic
decorations, which had supported a great fretted arch, composed of the before-
mentioned stones, which led to the discovery. — THE Ivy CHURCH, is situated
somewhat to the Westward, and has large breaches in its walls long since over-
grown with ivy; nothing' worthy of remark can be found in this building, which
is entirely unroofed. — TEAMPULLNA SKELLIG. Situated in the recess of the
South mountain, was the ancient Priory of the Rock, and was also called, The
Temple of the Desert, both expressive of the Irish appellation.; — The celebrated
BED OF ST. KEIVIN, on the South side of the Lough, is a cave, hewn in the solid
roCk, ou the side of the mountain, exceeding difficult in ascent and terrible in
prospect, for it hangs perpendicular over the lake, at an alarming height above,
the surface of the water ; at a small distance from this bed, on the same side
of the mountain, are to be seen, the ruins of a small stone building, called
ST. KEIVIN'S CELL. — We shall now bid adieu to this illustrious Seminary, which
(in the language of a late eminent writer) ' was once the Luminary of the W F.STERN
WORLD, whence savage Septs and roving barbarians derived the benefits of
knowledge and the blessings of religion'. The romantic shape of the surrounding
Mountains, many of which are covered with a fresh spring of wood, and others,
though of a surprising height, retaining the liveliest verdure almost throughout
the year; these, added to the winding form of a very fertile valley, which termi-
nates in a Lake of considerable extent, increase our veneration ; in a word, on a re-
view of such a scene, ' to abstract the mind from all local emotion would be im*-
possible, if it were endeavoured, and would be foolish, if it were possible. What-
ever withdraws us from the power of our senses; whatever makes the past, the
distant, or the future, predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of
thinking beings. Far from us and from our friends be such frigid philosophy as
may conduct us indifferent and unmoved over any ground which has been dig-
nified by wisdom or by virtue. That man is little to be envied, whose piety will
not grow warmer as he treads the ruins of Glandelogh' \"—Archdall's Monast,

" This Monastery under the Invocation of the Virgin Mary of the Yoke of God,
was founded on the 25th of August, in the year 1 192 or 1 193, by Africa, daughter
of Godred, King of Man, and wife to Sir John de Courcey. She furnished it with
Cistertian Monks from the Abbey of Holm Cultrain, in Cumberland, and chose
to take up her last residence here. — This abbey was ruined in the rebellion, raised
by Tyrone, towards the close of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The statue of the
foundress, in alto relievo, carved in free-stone, though much defaced, is yet to
be seen in an arch on the Gospel side of the high Altar: The building was large
and magnificent, the East window of the church is a noble Gothic design of three
compartments, each about six feet in width and upwards of twenty in height : on
the North and South walls, on each side of the altar, is a large window of free-
stone, neatly carved, and of the same breadth with the East window, but lower;
the cells, dormitory, &c., are all in ruins, and part of the West end is fitted up
for church service." — ArcluUiU's Monast. Hibern. p. 120.

Suir. The Fairs are holden on the 1 1th of May, 24th of September, and 18th of
October. — •" Donogh Carbragh O'Brien, King of Limerick, founded a celebrated
Abbey here, in honour of the Holy Cross, St. Mary and St. Benedict, for Monks
of the Cistertian Order. This abbey was a daughter of the Abbey of Nenay, or
Maig, in the County of Limerick, and the Abbot was stilcd Earl of Holy Cross,
the lands belonging to the abbey being an Earldom ; he was also a Baron of
Parliament, and was usually Vicar General of the Cistertian Order in Ireland.
The architecture of this erection was uncommonly fine, the building consists of an
high steeple nearly square, supported on each side by a beautiful Gothic arch, and
in the centre by a great variety of ogives passing diagonally from each angle, &c. :
on the East side thereof is a small Chapel, 21 feet in breadth and 24 in length;
the roof is arched, and beautifully supported by a number of ogives from the sides
and angles ; on the South side is a Gothic tomb, which, according to O'Hallaran, is
that of the founder, with a cross thereon but no inscription ; the tradition of the
H O R
place, however, informs us, that this tomb was erected for the Good Woman,
who brought the Holy relique hither : between the nave and steeple is a space
of 21 f. 6 in. in breadth, and 30 in length, detached from the nave by an arch,
which, we suppose, made a part of the choir : the nave is 49 feet broad, and 58 lon°-;
on eacli side is an arcade of four arches, with lateral aisles which pass on either side
of that part we conclude to have been the choir : the entrance is by a door at the
West end, under a large window. On the South side of the choir are two Chapels
each about 10 feet square, and both of them arched and supported as the other
parts of the building ; between these are a double row of Gothic arches, sup-
ported by twisted pillars, each distant about two feet four inches from the other ;
here the ceremony of waking the Monks was performed, and not where the holy
relique was kept, as remarked by a respectable writer, in a plate which by mistake
is reversed : on the North side of the choir are two other Chapels, each of them
seven feet long, and eleven feet broad, with roofs supported in like manner as the
others ; and between these and the opposite lateral aisle the whole is arched ;
but opposite the South chapel there is an open space, with a large flight of stairs
leading to the steeple, &c. ; in the north angle of which are stairs which ascend
to the top. The difference in the wdrk of this monastery is very extraordinary;
nothing could have been more highly finished than the steeple and chapels, which
are built of marble and limestone, yet the nave, the aisles, and adjoining ruins,
are miserably mean. On the South side the ruins cover a considerable space.
The River Suire, which before it reaches the sea is so amazingly extensive, flows
near the ruins of this monastery in a small stream. A parish church, with a few
wretched Cabbins, are the only remains of a once celebrated town." — Archdall's

MORE ABBEY, in the Barony of Middle Third, Co. of TIPPERARY, and Province
of Munster : a Rectory entire, Episcopally united, in 1789, to the R. andV. of Brick-
endown ; no Church: no Glebe House, or Glebe: The Rev. R.Alexander, the Incum
bent (in 1 806), who has cure of souls, and is resident at NewRoss, from whence he
performs the duties of a parish, in the Diocese of Ossory : the.duties are performed
by The Rev. Frederick Neligan, the Curate of the adjoining parish of St. John's,
in 1806. Hore Abbey is in the Diocese of Cashel, and Province of Cashel. It
is | m. S. W. from Cashel. The parishes in the Union of Hore Abbey are nearly
contiguous : that of Hore Abbey containing 777 acres. According to the Eccle-
siastical Report, each of these parishes, separately, is too small to afford comfort
H O R
to a Resident Incumbent. — "Hore Abbey, called also St. Mary's Abbey of the
Rock of Cashel, was situated near the Cathedral Church, and originally founded
for Benedictines : But the Archbishop, David Mac Carvill, having dreamed, in the
year 1269, or 1272, that these Monks had made an attempt to cut off his head, he
violently dispossessed the unfortunate men, of their house, lands, &c., and gave
the whole of their possessions to a body of 'Cistertian Monks, whom he brought
from the Abbey of Mellifont, in the county of Louth, and at the same time took
on himself the habit of that order. The noble ruins of this erection still remain,
and are for the most part entire. The steeple is large, and about 20 feet square
on the inside, which is supported by a variety of ogives from each angle, some
meeting in an octagon in the center, and others at the key stones of the vault,
and the structure is supported by two fine arches about thirty feet high. The choir
or chapel, which adjoins the East side of the steeple, is about 29 feet in length and
24 in breadth on the inside : The East window is small and plain ; and in the side
walls are some remains of stalls, &c. The nave is 60 feet in length, 23 in breadth,
and on each side was an arcade of three Gothic arches, the North side whereof is
levelled, with lateral aisles, which were about 13 feet broad ; between this and the
steeple is apart, but we are equally ignorant as to its name and the use it was ap-
plied to, it is 31 feet in length, of the same breadth with the nave, and divided
from the steeple by a plain wall ; on each side are similar arcades of two
arches only, and this opens with the West arch of the steeple. On the south side
of the steeple is a small door leading into an open part, about 30 feet long and £4
broad: the side walls are much broken, and in the gable end is a long window ;
there is a similar division on the North side of the steeple. Here is a small, low,
arched apartment, which seems to have been a Confessionary, as there are niches
in the wall, with holes, kc."—Archdairs Monast. Hibern. p. 648.

INISMURRAY, ISLAND, off the Barony of Carbury, Co. of SLIGO, and Prov-
ince of Connaught.— " In the early ages, there was an Abbey here, dedicated to
the Virgin Mary, and governed by St. Dicholla, the son of Meinida, who died
A. D. 747.— This Island is a Rock rising from the Sea, with horrid precipices
towards the Ocean, but shelving gently, like steps, on the side opposite the land.
It contains about 130 acres of a shallow soil, from four to five inches in depth,
which serves to feed some sheep, a few cows, and five or six horses, the remainder
of the island is a mere rock. The habitable part contains about 40 or 50 people,
children included, who lire in five houses, with as many barns adjoining them. They
intermarry amongst each other, and when the laud is overstocked with inhabitants,
they seek their fortunes on the great Island of Ireland. They are one community,
and live by fishing and selling their fish on the Main. They speak Irish only,
one man bowed beneath the weight of years excepted (in 1779): and boast their
having had this island in possession upwards of seven hundred years. \\ hat is
called the Abbey, is an inclosute of dry stones, from five to seven and eight feet
thick. It is impossible to determine whether it is round or oval; more rude,
inelegant workmanship was never seen. There are a few cells under ground,
I N I
which receive their light, some through a hole at the top, others through a loop-
hole in the side; they are dark, and horrible dungeons. There are also two
Chapels huilt with mortar, and quite in a gross state, as is St. Molasse's Cell,
which has a stone roof, and where the statue of the Saint is preserved. One of
the chapels, standing hy itself has an extraordinary window, the arch of which is
one rough crooked stone, just in its original shape. Here is an altar, called the
cursing altar, which is covered with round stones, and North-West of this, stands
the altar of the Trinity. The neighbouring inhabitants say, that if a man, who is
really wronged, turns one of these stones, and, at the same time, curses his
adversary, the wish, whatsoever it is, will fall upon him if guilty, but if otherwise,
the curse recoils upon the person who denounces it ; this keeps them in such awe,
as to prevent rash imprecations. There are several small inclosures with a stone
in the centre, and some springs, each of them consecrated to a particular saint.
A statue of their Patron, Saint Molasse, very rudely carved in wood, and painted
of aredish colour, is still preserved here. The Abbey was erected conjointly by
this Saint and St. Columb, but the latter being of an impetuous and fiery disposi-
tion could not accord with the mildness of Molasse, and betook himself to the
Main-land, leaving the other in peaceable possession." — Archdall's Monast. Hibern.

land on the island before the coming of the Danes into this country. The Prelates
INN
of this noble and ancient church are sometimes called by our Ecclesiastical His-
torians, Bishops, and at other times, Abbots : in process of time it became a Priory
of Regular Canons. The monument of St. Senan is still to be seen here, with the
remains of eleven small churches and several cells ; in the stone that closes the
top of the altar window of the great church is the head of the Saint, with his mitre,
boldly executed, and but little defaced. An ancient Round tower of 120 feet in

ruins. The choir, nave, and steeple, are yet entire, as are the cloisters, which
consist of several Gothic arches all of solid marble, inclosing a small square, in
the centre of which stands a very tall yew-tree, whose spreading branches, over-
shadowing and throwing a browu shade over the niches of the whole cloister, form
I S. L
a much more solemn and awful kind of covering than the original one. The
steeple of this extensive building is supported by a Gothic arch, which, from its

and Lea, the respective Vicarages of which are stated under the titles of the
present Incumbents. There are here no Residences of any kind, belonging to the
church, for the occupation of the Dean and Chapter, who are poorly endowed.
The Bishop has not thought proper to call the Dean to the exercise of his duty, on
account of his great age and infirmities. The other Members of the Cathedral are
represented by a Canon, who resides at present in the town, and performs duty
for them all. The Revenues of the church, though inconsiderable, are faithfully
employed in keeping the choir in good repair : but the nave has been long in ruins.
The Bishop of Kildare (who is always Dean of Christ Church, in Dublin) has no Re-
sidence in his Diocese. There is extant in the Registry a Map of lands, belonging;
i
K I L
to the Bishoprick, in which seven fields (viz, No. 1, 2, 5, 6', 7,), are marked Mensal
Lands, and contain 67 acres and 1 rood ; but, by a modern admeasurement, the
same fields have been found to contain, of Plantation measure, 72 acres and 3
roods. In the above-mentioned old map, a field, adjoining the Cathedral precincts,
or church-yard, is distinguished by being intituled, The Palace, and it is there
stated to contain 3 acres and 2 roods; but, by the modern admeasurement, it is
no more than 3 acres. These lands were formerly, and still are intersected by
roads, and there have been no traces known of The Palace in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant of the town, in 1806. The Bishop of the Diocese has not the
power, by virtue of any existing law, to charge upon his successors any sum
adequate to the building of a palace, by reason of the Tenuity of the Bishoprick.
Kildare is in the Diocese of Kildare, and Province of Dublin. It is 24f m. S. W.
from Dublin. It has six Post-days in the week. The Fairs are holden on the
12th of February, 26th of April, 12th of May, and ipth of September. It was
instituted a Borough, in the reign of King James the First, and is governed by
a Sovereign, two Portrieves, and a Town Clerk. It gave title of Earl to the
noble family of Fitzgerald, until the year 1766, when the then Earl was created
Duke of Leinster. Of the original church, and city, of Kildare, there are at
present no remains; both the church, and other buildings, having been frequently
plundered, and destroyed by the Danes. The present town, which seems to be
situate Eastward of the ancient one, stands boldly on a rising ground, and con-
sists of the Cathedral, part of the Castle which is inhabited, the County Infirmary,
the Parish School adjoining the church, a Roman Catholic Chapel, a Market
House, and about 180 houses, most of which, however, are but indifferent. The
Curragh of Kildare contains near 5000 English acres, and is under the superin-
tendency of a Ranger. It is the Newmarket of Ireland, and generally allowed
to exceed the English race-ground in elasticity of turf, and in characteristic
beauty; the Meetings are holden on the last week in April, the second Monday
in June, and the second Monday in September, when King's Plates are run for by
Irish bred horses. The Bishoprick of Kildare, which is valued in the King's Books
at <£69.. 1 1..4 Irish Money, was founded, according to Dr. Beaufort, about the end
of the Fifth century. Its greatest length, from East to West, does not exceed 36
miles, nor its greatest breadth 23 miles. This See comprehends part of the Counties
of Kildare, the King's County, and the Queen's County. — "St. Brigid, the illegit-
imate daughter of an Irish chieftain, was born in the year 453, and in the 1.4th year
of her age she received the veil from the hands of St. Patrick himself, or from one
of his immediate disciples ; it is said she made a pilgrimage to the Abbey of Glas-
tonbury, in Somersetshire. She founded a Nunnery here, before the year 484 ; and
about the same time an Abbey was also founded under the same roof for monks,
but separated by walls from the nunnery ; it afterwards came into possession of
the Regular Canons of St. Augustine. The Nuns and Monks had but one church,
K I L
in common, which they entered at different doors. St Brigid presided as well over
the Monks, as Nuns, and, strange to tell ! the Abbot of this House was subject
to the Abbess for several years after the death of the celebrated founder, which
happened in the year 523, on the first of February, when her Feast is celebrated.
She was interred here, but her remains were afterwards removed to the Cathedral
Church of Down. — Gray Abbey is situated on the South side of the town ; this
monastery was erected for Friars of the Franciscan Order, or, as they were more
generally called, Gray Friars, in the year 1260, by the Lord William de Vescy ;
but the building was completed by Gerald Fitz-Maurice, Lord Offaley. A consid-
erable part of this abbey still remains ; which, from the appearance of the
ruins, was of very small extent. — An House for Carmelites, or White Friars, was
founded in this town in the year 1290, by William de Vescy. Several Chapters
of this Order were holden in Atherdee and in Dublin by David O'Buge, who
was born in this town, and was a man of sound erudition, as such, he was in
the highest estimation at Oxford and at Treves in Germany, and wrote several
learned works. He was well versed in Divinity, Philosophy, Rhetorick, and
the Canon and Civil law, and was generally called the burning Light, the Mirror,
and the Ornament of his country. O'Buge flourished about the year 1320, when he
•was Provincial of the Carmelite Order, and died full of years, and full of honour
in this friary, where he was interred." — ArchdalVs Monast. Hibern. pp. 323. et seq.

sory of St. Sinell, which is situated in an island in Lough Melvin. St. Sinell,

in 1 650. It gives title of Earl to the family of Butler. The City of Kilkenny, and
the Borough of St. Canice, or Irish-Town, according to Dr. Beaufort, form but
one large town, which stands in the midst of The County of the City of Kilkenny.
It is delightfully situate on the River Nore, over which are two handsome bridges.
Of the many large and good buildings that adorn this city, I shall only mention
the Bishop's Palace, the magnificent Castle of the Earl of Ormond, and the cele-
brated Free School or College, founded by the Butler family, and lately re-built
on a large scale. The houses are decorated with a very beautiful black and white
marble, from the large Quarries in the neighbourhood of this city, which supply*
various parts of Ireland, and even London, with this commodity. Kilkenny con-
tains about 16,00 souls ; and has been long noted for the politeness of its inhabit-
ants. In this city, and its environs, abundance of blankets and much coarse
woollen cloth are manufactured. See, St. Canice.—" No Religious House appears
to have been in this city, till after the year 1211, when William Mareschal the
elder, Earl of Pembroke, founded, on the East side of the town, and near the
head of the small bridge, the Priory of St. John the Evangelist, for the relief of
indigent poor. This monastery (with various possessions) was granted to the
Mayor and Citizens of Kilkenny. The ruins of this building still remain in St.
K I L
John Street.— The Franciscan Friary was founded (on the banks of the JVbre) for
Conventual Franciscans: And Richard Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, is by some
writers made the Founder. Near the Infirmary of the monastery is a well, Avhich
was dedicated to St. Francis : it was formerly celebrated for many miracles said
to have been wrought there, and still retains some degree of credit amongst the
superstitious. This building, with its offices, was of great extent, reaching from
the street and city walls to the river; and the ruins, which still remain, sufficiently
evince its former elegance and grandeur." — ArchdalCs Monast. Hibern. pp. 368.

John the Baptist. Some writers erroneously give the foundation to the family of
Tyrrell ; but, from the best authority, we say, that Friar Thomas, a Priest, and
grandson of Sir Thomas Dillon, who came into Ireland, A. D. 1185, was the
founder of this house, and lies interred here. There was an Holy Well here, dedi-
cated to the Virgin Mary." — Archdall's Monast. Hibarii. p. 7£0.

was founded here, under the Invocation of the Virgin Mary, by Geoffrey de
Mariscis, in the reign of King John. The Prior of this House was a Lord of
Parliament; but, on account of the very great distance between his place of
residence and the metropolis, he was seldom summoned. The walls of the church
are of a great length, and strong in proportion ; these, and a noble Gothic East
Avindosv, are yet entire. The architecture, which is of a dark marble, bespeaks
the structure to be much more modern than the time before mentioned. Large
possessions, situate in divers parts of the country, did belong to this House :
which were granted for the term of 21 years to Thomas Clinton, at the annual

the gift of the Bishop. The Cathedral of Killala is small, but venerable for its
antiquity : it is the only church in the parish, though a Round tower at the
other end of the village indicates the ancient site of another church, of which,
however, no vestige remains. The Palace is a very small and ruinous house, ill
situated and ill contrived, at the edge of a very fine demesne : But the present
Bishop is making such additions and improvements as will render it a very com-
fortable residence. It is not 30 miles distant from the most remote part of either

united Dioceses of Killala and Achonry were destroyed.

according to Dr. Beaufort, early in the Fifth century : in the Twelfth, it was incor-
porated with the ancient Bishoprick of lloscrea, which was founded in 620. And in
the year 1752, the See of Kilfenora, which had been established about the Twelfth
century, was united to it ; and though very small in extent and value, had con-
tinued separate till after the Restoration, when it was first annexed to the Arch-
bishopiiciv of Tuain : That Union continued 81 years, till 1741, when Ardagh
being annexed to Tuam, this Bishoprick was given in. Commendam to the Bishop
of Clonfert. The Diocese of Killaloe stretches 80 miles in length, through the

Corcomroe, and extends only 18 miles by nine. The Chapter consists of a Dean
(see, Kilkeary), Precentor (see Lateragh), Chancellor (see, Toomtvard), Trea-
surer (see, Dromime), and Archdeacon (see, Aghlishcloghane), and five Prebend-
aries. The Church of Killaloe is not large for a Cathedral, but venerable for its
antiquity, and in good preservation, though built above 660 years. It serves like
many others for the parish church. Very near the little town of Killaloe, in the
midst, of a fine Demesne, beautifully situate on the Western Bank of the Shannon,
stands the Episcopal Residence, a handsome new House, erected by the late Arch-
bishop of Dublin, when Bishop of Killaloe. This See is 50 miles from the South
West extremity of the Diocese. — " St. Molualobhair, the grandson of Eocha
Bailldearg, King of North Munster, founded an Abbey here, about the beginning
of the Sixth century. He was succeeded by his Disciple St. Flannan, who,
about the. year 639, was consecrated Bishop of the place ; from this time we hear
no more of it as an abbey. Killaloe was anciently the Resort of many pilgrims."

in the Episcopal habit, mitres on their heads, &c. — St. Endeus founded an Abbey
of Regular Canons here. — A Nunnery was also built by St. Endeus, for his sister
St. Fanchea, who was called Carecha ; in the year 480, she was interred here, and
her reliques have been held in great veneration. It is probable, says Colgan, that
Teghaine, famous for the interment of seven Bishops, is the same with Killeen."

"St. Colman, the son of Duach, founded an Abbey here about the year 620,
and Maurice, Bishop of this See, who died in 1283, erected on the ancient site, a
Monastery for regular Canons of the Order of St. Augustine. This abbey is
situated to the North West of the Cathedral (which is now in ruins), on a neck of
land between two Loughs, which, according to some authors, evacuate themselves
in summer into whirlpools ; however, this rarely happens, as the water never goes
off but in a very dry season. The church, though small, is a very neat building,
the pillars and arches, from the entrance to the altar part, and those of the East
window, are finished in an elegant style, and the angles at the East end are worked
in pillars. To the South of the church is a Sacristy, and adjoining to that a room,
where was probably deposited the valuable effects belonging to the church, and
which being arched, they call the Jail ; on the South of these, is a Chapel and the
Refectory ; from the whole of this we may infer, that the Canons of the Monast-
ery dwelt in separate houses. To the North, about two feet from the church,
is an old wall ; an ancient tradition still exists at Kilmacduagh, of its being once a
place of penance. There is also an Hoi}' Well here, with a circular inclosure. Here
is an ancient Round tower, which leans 17^ feet from its perpendicular. It may
not be improper to remark, that the Tower at-Pisa, so universally celebrated, leans
but 13 feet. At the general suppression, this monastery was granted to Richard
Earl of Clanricarde." — ArchdalVs Monast. Hibern. p. 291.

large houses evidently of a date, of excellent workmanship, and all of cut stone,
remain at this day; and the ruins of Churches and Monasteries, the Walls and Gates
of the town, with the extensive district contained In the Liberty of Kilmallock,
prove the former splendour of a town, which is now no more than a miserable
village. It makes a conspicuous figure in the Military History of Ireland. The
parishes in the Union of Kilmallock are contiguous, and contain 8000 acres of
land. According to the Ecclesiastical Report, each of these parishes, separately,
is too small to afford the means of comfort to a Resident Incumbent. — " An
Abbey was founded hereby St. Mocheallog, who died between the years 639 and
656. This is now the parish church. — The Friars of the Order of St. Dominick
seated themselves here, A. D. 1291: and the tradition of the place informs us,
that the founder of this Friary was Gilbert, the second son of John of Callen,
Lord Oftaley. The ruins of this monastery, which was situated within the town,
may still be seen, and are sufficient to convince every observer, that this was.

probably endowed, by Burchard. a Norwegian captain ; he was the son of Gurmund ;
he was buried in the choir of the Cathedral, under a marble monument, whereon
was his effigies, with a Latin inscription commemorative of the above. This
Priory, being situated in a depopulated and wasted country, and the Prior having
given refuge and succour to his Majesty's good subjects in this neighbourhood,
and intending to pursue that laudable practice, the King, Edward the Second,
therefore granted them a concordatum on the 1st of May 1372. We cannot say
to what Order this priory did originally belong. It was dissolved in the year
1432, by the authority of Pope Eugene IV., and the lands thereunto belonging
were annexed to the Deanery of Leighlin, at the request of Nicholas Cloal the
Dean." — Archdalfs Monast. Hibern. p. 36.

This City sends one Member to Parliament, The Magistrates are a Mayor, two

Chief town in the county; and gives title of Viscount to the family of Hamilton.
The population is estimated at upwards of Forty thousand. The Bishoprick of
Limerick (valued in the King's Books at ,£40. sterling) was united, according to
Dr. Beaufort, in 1663, to those of Ardfert and Aghadoe, which had long been so in-
corporated, as to form but one Diocese. Ardfert, or, Ardart, was established in
the Fifth century, and Limerick before the Thirteenth. The latter extends in
length, from East to West, 27 miles in the County of Limerick, and 17 miles in
breadth; taking in a small part of Clare. The Bishoprick of Ardfert, which in-
cludes the whole county of Kerry, and a portion of Cork, is 52 miles long from
North to South, and 48 miles broad. There are 71 miles from one extremity of
the Union to the other. The Chapter of Limerick consists of a Dean, Precentor
(see, Nantinan), Chancellor (see, Ruthkeale), Treasurer (see, St. Patrick's), and
Archdeacon, and 11 Prebendaries. The Cathedral of Limenck is an ancient and
venerable pile. The Bishop's Palace is a comfortable modern house, pleasantly

bounds of the Diocese of Limerick, and 80 miles from some parts of Ardfert. —
" About the time of the arrival of the English (in 1174), an House was founded
here for Black Nuns of the Order of St. Augustin, by Donald O'Brien, King of
Limerick, who dedicated it to St. Peter. — In the reign of King John, a Friary was
founded under the Invocation of St. Mary and St. Edward the King, by Simon
Minor, a citizen of Limerick, for Regular Canons of the Order of St. Augustin.
L I S
This Priory, situated near BallVBridge, was granted at the Suppression to Edmund
Sexton.— A Dominican Friary was founded here under the Invocation of St.
Saviour, by Donogh Carbrcach O'Brien, king of Thomond. He was interred here
in the year 1241, in a tomb with his statue placed over it. We are. told by another
writer, that he was interred at Killaloe. Part of the Friary is now converted into
a tan-yard, and a large barrack has been erected on the other part : some small
remains of the church, walls, &c., may yet be seen — A Gray Friary was founded
in the reign of King Henry III, by O'Brien, a lineal descendant of the kings of
Limerick and Thomond. This Friary stood without the town wall, and where the
County court-house is now erected. The oltl church has been since converted into
the County hospital. Wadding says, that another Franciscan Monastery was
founded here in the year 1293, in the King's Island near Limerick.— The August-,
inian Friary, generaHy called The House of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and of The
Holy Gross, was founded in the 13th century by O'Brien. It is supposed that this
Friary was situated near Quay -lane ; but even a trace of it is not now to be found.
—The Knights Templars had an House near to the Augustinian Friary, of which
the smallest remains are now not discoverable." — Archdalfs Motiast. Hibern.

LISGOOL, in the Barony of Magheraboy, Co. of FERMANAGH, and Province

where we find the Festival of St. Aid, or Hugh, of Lisgovel, was observed on the
25th of January. An Abbey, under the Invocation of the Virgin Mary, was
afterwards founded here, and probably on the site of the ancient Monastery, for
Regular Canons, following the rule of St. Augustin, by Mac Noellus Mackenlef>
King of Ulster, in the year 1106. — This abbey having gone to ruin for want of
necessary repairs, and Divine Service being totally neglected therein, the Abbot
Cahill Mac Brian, Mac Cuchonnaght Maguire, entered into articles with Cuchon-
naght Fitz-Cuchonnaght Maguire, lord of the Country of Fermanagh, to restore it
to its pristine state. Maguire being grieved at seeing the church, which he and
the principal people of the country had chosen for the place of their sepulture, so
nearly demolished, requested the before mentioned Lord Abbot to surrender his
title, and suffer him to provide another Order for the House, who should keep it in
proper repair, and engage that there should be constantly Divine Service therein.
The Abbot, together with the Bishop and Chapter, entered into an agreement which
received the Confirmation of the Pope, who ordered the Franciscan Friars to take
^ I 6
possession of the abbey: and the Lord Maguire made a recompence to the Abbot
I'ahill, of ten dry Cows yearly, to him and his lineal heirs for ever. In this deed, a
fine was ordered of — cows to the O'Hoxies and Mac Crifferties, the Poets, who
were to reprove, infame and reprehend, in their satirick writings, every disturber or'
•the Friars, otherwise the ordinary fine of 20 cows was to be levied out of their own
proper .goods and lands. — Maguire afterwards began to rebuild the Abbey in a
most agreeable and eligible situation : but before the completion of the building,,
the destroying powers of King Henry VIII overwhelmed it, in the year 1530
It was granted to Sir John Davis, Knight."— Archdall's Monast. Hibern. p. 263

John, on the ruins of the Abbey of St. Carthagh: It belonged to the Duke of
Devonshire, and gave birth to the great philosopher, Robert Boyle : It is boldly
seated on the verge of a rocky hill, which rises almost perpendicularly, to a con-
siderable height, over the River Blackwater. It was for many years an Episcopal
residence, until Myler Magrath, Archbishop of Cashel, and Bishop of this See,
granted the Manor of Lismore to that celebrated scholar and soldier, Sir Walter
Raleigh, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, at the yearly rent of <£l3..<5..8 : But
this estate being lopped off with his head, in the reign of King James the First,
it afterwards came into the hands of Sir Richard Boyle, who purchased all Sir
Walter's lands. Here is a fine bridge over the River Blackzvatcr, which was
erected at a very great expense by the Duke of Devonshire; and which is re-
markable for the extent of its principal arch, the span of it being 90 feet. Below
the town is a rich fishery for salmon, which is the greatest branch of trade here.
The public road to Cork was formerly through this town. The Bishoprick of
Lismore, according to Dr. Beaufort, was founded in the beginning of the Seventh
century. It was united to the See of Waterford, in the year 1536'. The Chapter
of Lismore consists of a Dean (see, Tubrid), Precentor (see, Ardmore), Chancellor
(see, Derrygrath\ Treasurer (see, Nezvcastle), and Archdeacon (see, Ballybacon\
and ten Prebendaries. The Cathedral is spacious, and handsome. There are
some parts of the Diocese of Lismore 35 miles distant from the city of Waterford.
See, Waterford.- — " Some writers affirm, that there was neither Church nor City
here before the time of St. Mochuda; yet we find, that John was Bishop of Lis-
more in the time of St. Senan, who lived about the year 540. — An Hospital for
Lepers was founded here under the Invocation of St. Brigid, to which several
lands did belong, as appears from a Registry compiled some time after 1467, when
the Master of the Hospital, styled Prior of Lismore, was in his 120th year: At
the time of the general suppression, these lands were unknown. — A Cell for an
Anachorite, belonged to the church of Lismore, which was endowed with the
lands of Ballyhaufy or Anchoret's town, a burgage in Lismore, six stangs of land,
afield called Gortrimenyearty, and two small gardens, the whole of the annual
value of £ 10." — Arclidall's Monast. Hibern. pp, 6'91. et seq.

Donegal, in the year 521, and was educated under St. Finian in the great school of
Clonard. The Noblesse of Kinell-conuill (the county of Donegal) granted Dore-
calgach to their relation St. Columb in the year 535; but as the Saint could not at
that time be sixteen years old, the foundation of the Abbey cannot be placed before
the year 546, when he may be supposed to have founded it for Canons Regular
under the Rule of St. Augustin : This Abbey was a daughter of that of St. Peter
2
LOR
and St. Paul at Armagh, and was in after times dedicated to St. Cotumb himself:
He is said by some to have made a pilgrimage to the Abbey of Glastonbury, in So-
mersetshire, and there to have concluded his earthly pilgrimage, A. D. 597, in the
76th year of his age : he was buried in the Abbey of Hy, but was afterwards re-
moved to Downpatrick. — The Registry of the Honour of Richmond says, that an
Abbey for Nuns of the Cistertian Order was founded at Derry, A. D. 1218, by

LOUGH NEAGH, this great body of water, washes the shores of the Counties
of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Londonderry, and Tyrone. According to Dr. Beau-
fort, it is fifteen miles long, seven broad, and covers 58,200 acres. The River
Bann is the only outlet for seven rivers and innumerable streams, that pour their
tributary waters into this great Inland sea; which, though by far the largest, is by
no means the most beautiful of the Irish lakes. The shores are mostly formed
either by an inanimate strand, or marshy borders liable to frequent floods; and are,
of course, deficient in those varied banks and bold promontories, without which
such extensive sheets of water cannot have a picturesque effect, unless when the
uniformity is broken by frequent Islands of different size and character: — but there
are only two in this Lake ; a very small one near the mouth of the Blackzeater, and
Ram Island, within a short distance of the Antrim shore, remarkable only for an
ancient Round tower. The views are more pleasing in Lough Beg, a small Lake,
into which these waters again expand, after a course of about a mile through a
very contracted channel. The form of Lough Beg, its Islands, some wooded
points of land, with intervening lawns and rocks, the magnificent Rotunda at Bal-
lyscullen, and the beautiful lightness of Toome-Bridge, produce the most happy
effect. It would be unpardonable to omit, that Lough Neagh has been long cele-
brated for a petrifying quality, which the water, or rather (it is said) the soil,
possesses on some parts of the Antrim shore.
LOUGH OUGHTER, in the Barony of Loughtee, Co. of CAVAX, and Prov-

MONAINCHA, in the Barony of Ikerin, Co/ of TIPPERARY, and Province of
Munster. It is 3 m. S. E. from Roscrea. It is situate almost in the centre of the
great Bog of Monela. — " The Monastery of Monaincha was originally an Abbey
M O N
of Culdean Monks, under the Invocation of St. Columba, whose Festival M'as
formerly celebrated there on the 15th of June. The situation chosen by these
Religious was very singular. The Island, whereon the Monastery is built, consists of
about two acres of dry ground ; all the surrounding parts being a soft morass, scarcely
accessible by human feet, and yet, on this Isle stands the remains of a beautiful
edifice; not large, but constructed in so fine a style, and with such materials, as
excites our wonder how they could have been transported thither. The length of
the Church is 44 feet, the width about 18 ; the arches of the Choir and the Western
portal are semicircular, and adorned with a variety of curious mouldings ; the
Windows were contrasted arches, such as appear over the West entrance to the
church of St. Edmund's Bury, in Suffolk, but they are decaying, and some are
fallen down. The antiquity of this Monastery is indisputable ; for it is mentioned
by Giraldus Cambrensis, who came into Ireland in 1 185, as Preceptor and Secre-'
tary to King John, then Earl of Morton. He says this Island borders upon
North Minister and the confines of Leinster, and that there a few Culdees, or
Colidei, did devoutly serve God. To the East of the Abbey Church is a small
Oratory, but no vestige of Monastic dwellings can be found on this Isle, save
only the Abbey and the Abbot's room adjoining it, which was over the Cellars,
and but small ; whatever others might have been, were probaly formed of wood,
and in the lapse of many centuries have ceased to exist. Superstition established
an opinion, so early as the age of Giraldus, that no person could die in this Isle
let his malady be ever so extreme, or his fate ever so urgent : the merits of the
Patron Saint and those of his Religious, secured this privilege to an Isle so favour-
ed, and hence it acquired the appellation of Insula Viventium, or, The Island of
the Living. This Legendary celebrity brought, from the remotest parts, innu-
merable Pilgrims, to expiate their sins at the altar of St. Columba, and a gainful
trade was carried on for more than Ten centuries; which enabled the monks to
improve their Abbey and add such decorations as the fashion and taste of the day
required : for we are not to suppose, that the present church is the same as the
original, which was erected in the Seventh century ; that was probably of wood,
in which state it continued till the invasion of the Ostmen, when a new style
of Architecture commenced, and Montfincha was constructed of more durable
materials. However, the salubrity and supernatural power of the Isle was not so
great as to prevent the emigration of its Religious inhabitants to the main land.
They found the "noxious vapours of the surrounding marshes and swamps highly
injurious to their constitutions, and they, as Ware informs us, fixed their residence
at Corbally ; where is at this day, in good preservation, a small neat Chapel of a
cruciform shape, with narrow slits for windows, and many other particulars
indicating a respectable antiquity. By an inquisition taken, A. D. 1568, it was
found that the Monastery of Canons Regular of the Virgin Mary, in the Island of
the Living, otherwise called Inchenebo, was seized of the following lands ;
M O N
•the Island, which contained three acres of moor, wherein were two Chapels ;

Dunleer " Here we find a Religious house, which was anciently called Monaster-
Bute, being founded by St. Bute, or Boetius, the son of Bronagh. Here are the
ruins of two small chapels ; and although nothing remarkable is to be seen in
their structure, yet do they evince the great antiquity of this foundation; near
the West end of one of these chapels is a Round tower, 1 10 feet high, beautifully
diminishing, in the manner of a Tuscan pillar, from a base of 18 feet : its circum-
ference is seventeen yards, and the wall, built of a slaty stone of which the sur-
rounding hills are composed, is three feet six inches thick, the door is five feet
six inches in height, twenty-two inches in width, and six feet from the present
level of the ground, it is arched and built of free-stone, as are the windows of the
chapels ; in the inside the diameter is nine feet, and above the door it is divided
into five stories, by rings of stone .slightly projecting. — There are two large crosses
on the South side of the church, the principal one is said to be of an entire stone,
and is called St. Boyne's Cross, which is the most ancient Religious relique now
extant in Ireland; the ornamental figures on it are rudely engraven, and at once
show the uncivilized age in which they were executed ; there is also an inscrip-
tion on this cross in the old Irish character, equally inelegant with the figures,
some letters of which appear and evidently form the word Muredach, who was for
some time King of Ireland, and died A. D. 534, about one hundred years after the
arrival of St. Patrick. This Abbey continues to be a Burial-place of note,"—

— " A Monastery was founded here for Conventual Franciscans by William Dela-
mar in the year 1236 ; and, A. D, 1460, we find it reformed by the Friars of the
strict Observance. This Friary was rather neat and compact than sumptuous or
towering, having in the middle, between the body of the church and the chancel,
an handsome but very narrow steeple, rising from a small arch to nearly the height
of 60 feet, with off-sets between the sides. This building, we learn from the tradi-
tion of the place, was committed to the flames by the Rochforts, a powerful family
in this country. But some ruins, which remain, evince its extent and extraordin-
ary workmanship, the whole being built of a blackish slate ; the East window,
totally devoid of ornament, is still entire."— Archdall's Monast. Hibern, p. 726.

said to have been erected in the Fourth century, before the arrival of St. Patrick
in Munster. It is, however, indubitable that St. Patrick placed St. Nessan here,
Avho died A. D. 551. The Psalter of Cashel gives an incredible account of this
abbey ; that it had within its walls six Churches, which contained, exclusive of
Scholars, 1500 Religious; 500 of whom were learned Preachers, 500 Psalmists
and the remaining 500 wholly applied themselves to Spiritual exercises. The
ruins of this abbey may still be seen, consisting of the walls of a church, which
by no means bespeak either antiquity, or its former splendour ; the East end is
47 feet long by 16 feet broad, with a plain narrow window ; the centre, or nave, is
33 feet by 28^, and the communication from this with the East end is by a small
arch ; on the North side of the nave is a small porch or entrance; the West end is
12 feet by 22, on the north side whereof is a small square tower, with ruined
battlements ; there are no old tombs to be found here, but at a small distance
North-east, are the walls of an old house, which probably made a part of the

into a Cathedral, which he dedicated to the honour of St. Peter and St. Paul.
The Prior of this House was the third in Dignity, and sat as a Baron in the House
of Lords. The remains of the large old church are still in being, where is also to
be seen, an ancient tomb, said to have been placed there for a daughter of King
John. — A Priory, or Hospital, was erected in the 13th century, under the Invo-
cation of St. John the Baptist, for Cross-bearers, or Crouched Friars, and the
Bishops of Meath were either the founders, or great benefactors to this House.
This priory stands on the South side of the river, a little below the abbey, and
contiguous to the bridge. The ruins are extensive, though by no means remark-
able for regularity of style, nor have they much appearance of a Religious founda-
tion. A square Castle adjoins the bridge, from whence a regular range of building,
along the water's edge, extends to another Castle at the East end, near which
stands the East window of a small chapel, of a light triple form ; and on the road
side, near the castle, is a very neat Turret, built in an octagon form. This Priory

charge on the Estate of Lord Galway, in the King's County, and

on Easter-Monday, 22d of May, 12th of October, and 23d of November. This
town sends one Member to Parliament; Patron, Lord Portarlington. It is hand-
somely situate on each side of the River Barrow, which divides the town ; the
greater part thereof being- in the Queen's County. The Magistrates are a Sovereign,
two Portrieves, and a Recorder. It gives title of Earl to the family of Dawson.
According to the Ecclesiastical Report, the parish of Lea cannot well be consid-
ered without reference to the town of Portarlington. At Lea, two miles from
Portarlington, there is a decayed old Church, which can scarcely be prevented by
ordinary repairs from fulling. It is inconveniently situate for the town, and equally
so for the numerous Protestant Inhabitants of the country. By a plurality of
voices, at a late vestry, it has, therefore, been determined to change its site, and to
re-build it still further from the town, by which means Portarlington, containing
about 1500 inhabitants, will be in a worse state than it now is. In Portarlington
there are two Chapels, and two Schools, endowed by the Earl of Gal way, in
1702; one Chapel, and School, for Protestant French Refugees, and the
like for the English Protestant Settlers and native Irish, on his Lordship's Estate.
A rent-charge of <£40. per annum was settled on each Chaplain, .£20. per annum on
the English Schoolmaster, and .£'12, on the French master; and the Bishop of
Kildare, the Diocesan, and his successors, were appointed trustees for ever. The
chapels, and schools, with their endowments, were accordingly conveyed to the
Bishop, for the time being, and shortly after, because there were many French
Protestants in the place, a pension of £50. was granted to the French Chaplain, for
the time being, which is enjoyed to this day. When the chapels were conveyed
in trust to the Bishop, they were newly built ; repairs were little thought of; and
the fund, provided for that purpose, was only a fine of £2,0., to be paid on the
demise of each of three lives, on the perpetual renewal of which, the lands, charged
with the above rent of .£122., are holden for ever. At present there is one sum of
^£20. in hand, which bears interest : but, as the two Chapels are absolutely in
ruins, and must be shortly altogether abandoned for want of necessary repairs, the
Bishop considers himself (so far as the buildings are concerned) incapable of ful-
filling the purposes of this trust. The Rectory of Lea is appropriate to the Dean
and Chapter of Kildare. The Vicarage is endowed with one third of the tythes,
and the Incumbent (in 1806), is The Rev. William Maunsell. — Part of the town
of Portarlington, situate in the King's County, and Parish of Clonchorke, must
FOR
also be considered on the occasion. The ancient site of Clonchorke Church is too
remote from the town, which contains a great number of Boarding Schools, kept
by very respectable persons, for children of both sexes ; and serious inconveniences
must arise to such seminaries of Education, if the children be debarred from the
exercise of Public worship.

Friars, who, with the approbation of the Monks of Donbrody, erected a Friary
here and also a Church, which they dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and the ori-
ginal Patron Saints; at the same time they built a steeple, cemetery, and all other
necessary offices. The walls are still nearly entire, and plainly show that the Mon-

and from East to West 5 miles. According to the Ecclesiastical Report, each of
these parishes, separately, is too small to afford the means of comfort to a Resident
Incumbent. See, Ogashin, — "An Abbey was founded here early, which was con-
sumed by fire A. D. 1278. The Monastery of Quin, for Franciscan Friars, was
founded in 1402, by Sioda Cam Mac Namana: but Father Wadding places it in
the year 1350, yet at the same time he declares, that he-thinks it was more ancient.
The Roman Catholics repaired this Monastery in 1604-. Bishop Pococke thus
describes its present state. ' Quiii is one of the finest and most entire Monast-
eries that I have seen in Ireland: it is situated on a fine stream, with an ascent of
several steps to the church ; at the entrance, one is surprised with the view of the
High Altar entire, and of an Altar on each side of the arch of the chancel. To the
South is a Chapel, with three or four Altars in it, and a very Gothic figure, in
relief, of some Saint: on the North side of the chancel is a fine monument of the
• family of the Mac Namarras of Ranee, erected by the founder: on a stone by the
High Altar, the name of Kennedye appears in large letters: in the middle, between
the body and the chancel, is a fine tower built on the two gable ends. The clois-
ter is in the usual form, with couplets of pillars, but is particular, in having but-
tresses round it by way of ornament: there are apartments on three sides of it, the
refectory, the dormitory, and another grand room to the North of the chancel, with
R A G
a vaulted room under them all: to the North of the large room is a closet, which
leads through a private way to a very strong Round tower, the walls of which are
near ten feet thick. In the front of the Monastery is a building, which seems to
have been an apartment for strangers, and to the South-west are two other build-
ings.' " — Archdall's Monast. Hibern. p. 53.

the V. of Kilmeaden. Reisk is in the Diocese of Waterford, and Province of
Cashel. It is 5j in. S. W. from Waterford. See, Waterford, Monemointer, and

R I C
united: the Vicarage of Reisk is of much too small value alone to afford comfort
o
to the Incumbent, and cannot well be added to any contiguous parish, they all
being the Corps of some of the Chapter, or belonging to another Diocese; they
are not above one mile distant from each other.

uous; that of Reynagh containing 2699 acres of land. According to the Eccle-
siastical Report, it is expedient that these parishes should be disunited, as the Epis-
copal Union prevents a Church from being built in Gallen, where it is greatly
wanted, and has been repeatedly applied for by the parishioners; and as there be-
longs to it an extensive Glebe, on which a House might be built. — " St. Regna-
cia, sister to St. Finian, who died A. D. 563, founded Kill-rignaighe ; and Talacia,

age a Castle was erected here, which was re-edified in 1268, by Sir Robert de Uf-
tbrd, Justiciary of Ireland, and in 1271, it was razed to the ground.— The first
Religious foundation, which stands on record, is the Abbey of Regular Canons,

flourished, A. D. 540, when he wrote a rule for Monks, which was observed by
most of these religious bodies in Connaught. — The Dominican Friary was founded

guards in the dress of their time, but it has been lately much defaced. Tumul-
tach O'Conor, who was made Bishop of Elphin in 1246, and translated to Tuam in

Ormond Family. The parishes in the Union of Roscrea are contiguous : their
estimated extent from North to South being 6 miles, and from East to West 7

but finding that situation too retired, he erected a sumptuous Monastery (of
Regular Canons) near the King's High-way, where a celebrated city afterwards
sprang up, now only a small town, and called Roscrea. After the performance of
many miracles, the holy and aged Founder of this House, ended an exemplary
life on the I Oth of May, in the beginning of the Seventh century, and his feast
(as patron of Roscrea,) is holden on the £8th of April. The present church is
dedicated to St. Cronan; the front of it is very old, and consists of a door and two
flat niches on either side, of Saxon architecture, with a mezzo relievo of the Patron
Saint, much defaced by time ; at a little distance is a Cross in a circle, with a
crucifix on one side, adjoining to which is a stone carved in various figures, and
at each end a mezzo relievo of a Saint, both are called, if we mistake not, The
Shrine of St. Cronan. To the North-west is a fine Round tower, 15 feet
diameter, with two steps round it at the bottom ; about 15 feet from the ground
is a window with a regular arch, and at an equal height is another window with
a pointed arch. — A Franciscan Friary was founded here, A. D. 1490, by Mulruany
na Feasoige O'Carrol, who married Bibiana, the daughter of O'Dempsey. Others
inform us, that Bibiana herself was the founder after she became a widow; the
Cloister, however, could not have been built till after that time, as appears from
an inscription, which was formerly in this Friary. This Building was situate on
the River, at the North-west part of the town, and the remains are in good
preservation." — Archdalfs Monast. Hibern. p. 672.

R O S
grew up here, in which there was always a large Seminary of Scholars. This
Monastery has been generally given to the Regular Canons following the Rule of
St. Augustine; but it appears, from the two instruments published by Hugh
Ward, that it did belong to the Order of St. Benedict, and that they professed
obedience to the Benedictine Abbey of St. James, without the walls of the Citv
of Wurtzburgh, in the Province of Mentz in Germany. The ruins of it still

years the residence of a Royal prince. In the year 1512, it appears to have been
re-built for Friars of the third Order of St. Francis, by Christopher Fleming,
Knight, Lord of Slane, and Elizabeth Stuckle his wife. In the present remains of
Lord Slane's building are several fragments of the ancient Abbey, and many of the
architraves were evidently cut out of the ornamental parts, particularly one with
the appearance of a head crowned. A spacious Castle was erected here by the
Lord of Slane, who being afterwards engaged in the great rebellion in 1641, the
estate vested in the Crown : and The Right Honourable William Conyngham,

St. Dominick, by Maurice Fitzgerald, who was Lord Justice of this Kingdom, in the

attribute this foundation to O'Connor (Lord of) Sligo. At the general suppression,
this Friary was granted to Sir William Taafe. The few ruins of this spacious and
beautiful monastery evince its former splendour. Three sides of the Cloister may
still be seen, covered with an arched roof: the arches and pillars are of extraor-
SOL
dinary workmanship, and a few of the pillars are ornamented with Sculpture. The
great East window is beautiful, and the High Altar, adorned with relievos in the
Gothic style, is now so overwhelmed with hones and skulls, (the quantity, as we
are told, being sufficient to load a small vessel), as to prevent a minute descrip-
tion. The Nave is spacious, with a passage round it in the nature of a gallery,
and supported by pillars of stone about four feet distant from each other. In the
corner, to tlie right as you look towards the Altar, is the Tomb of O'Conor, with
the figures of himself and Lady, and an inscription now almost defaced. Here
are also several vaults and cells, and the tower in the centre is pretty entire,
except the battlements. This great and curious monument of antiquity seems to
have fallen a prey rather to the devouring teeth of time than to the hands of
man; although Cromwell is said to have done some injury to \l.n—ArchdaWs-

in honour of this exemplary Bishop. His remains were preserved at Tuam, in a
Chapel, called Temple-na-scrin, i. e., The Church of the Shrine.— The Priory of
St. John the Baptist was founded about the year 1140, by Tirdelvac O'Connor,
king of Ireland. We cannot say to what Order this House did belong, but find
that it was granted to Richard Earl of Clanrickard.— The Abbey of the Holy
Trinity was founded by one of the family of Burgh, either in the reign of King
John, or in the beginning of King Henry III, for Premonstre Canons." — Arch-

ST. PATRICK'S, a Prebend, valued in the King's Books at £$. Irish Money :
a Church, in repair.
ST. PETER'S: The Church is demolished.
ST. STEPHEN'S : The Church is demolished.
TRINITY, with the Chapels of The Dean and St. James, within the Cathe-
dral, each valued in the King's Books at «£l4. Irish Money :
The Cathedral Church, in repair: a Deanery House.
The Parishes of Trinity, St. Michael's, and St. Olave's, are all Within the City of
Waterford, and make about two-thirds of it: they are united to the entire Rectories
of Kilburne, and Kilcaragh, and part of the Rectories of Kilmeaden, and Reisk,
constituting the Corps of the Deanery of Waterford, which is valued in the King's
Books at ,£20. Irish Money: and to Avhich Corps, the entire Rectory of Kill-
oteran was last Episcopally united, on the 22d of December 1 804, when the pre-
sent Dean became Incumbent; and it appears, that it has been united in the same
manner, for time immemorial : two Glebes; one, of 376 a. 3 r. 10 p., belonging to
the Deanery, at Ballycasheen, in the parish of Kilburne, .with several Cabbins on
the land: the other, of 17 acres, at Kilcaragh ; these Glebes are distant from each
other about two miles : The Rev. Usher Lee, A. M., the Dean (in 1806), who has
cure of souls, is resident in the Deanery House, and discharges the duties in person,
assisted by his three Curates, who all reside within the Union, viz, The Curate of
W A T
the Cathedral, at a Salary of £75. ; of St. Olave's, at .£50. ; and of Killoteran, at,£50.
per annum. The Dean and Chapter of Watei ford have the Tythes of Trinity parish
in common. There are no Tythes from the other two City parishes. The parishes in
this Union are all contiguous; the remotest of them not being four miles distant from
theCityof Waterford.— The parishes of St. Peter, St.Pa trick, St.Stephen, and St. John,
are all contiguous, and comprehend about one-third of the whole city of Waterford:
they constitute the Corps of the Archdeaconry, which is valued in the King's Books
at £6. Irish Money, and were probably united at the same time when the Deanery
was established : a Glebe, of a few perches, behind the church of St. Patrick:
The Rev. George Lewis Fleury, LL. D., the Incumbent (in 1806)> who has cure
of souls, is resident in the city, and performs the duties in person. According to
the Ecclesiastical Report, the value of these four Livings is under <£200. per annum;
and are conceived to be of too small value to afford comfort to the Incumbent. —
There is also a French Church in the City of Waterford, endowed by Government
with £50. per annum : of which The Rev. Peter Augustus Franquefort is Incum-
bent (in 1806) : has not cure of souls : is resident, and performs the duties in per-
son : It has neither Glebe House, or Glebe Land. — Waterford is in the Diocese
of Waterford, and Province of Cashel. The Hon. and Right Rev. Power French
le Poer, D. 1). and LL. D., Lord Bishop of Waterford and Lismore, in 1802. It
is 74£ m. S. S. W. from Dublin. It has six Post-days in the week. The Fairs are
holden on the 4th of May, 24th of June, and 25th of October. This City sends
one Member to Parliament; the Electors being, Freemen and Freeholders. It
was originally built in the year 879, but destroyed, in 981 : It was considerably
enlarged by Earl Strongbow, in 1171; and still further, in the reign of King
Henry the Seventh, who granted divers privileges to the citizens. King Richard
the Second landed, and was crowned here, in 1399. In 1690, King James the
Second embarked from hence for France, after the Battle of the Boyne. King
William the Third resided here twice, and confirmed its Privileges. Here is a
Charter School, for 60 Boys. The Members of the Corporation consist of a
Mayor, Recorder, two Sheriffs, 18 Aldermen, and 19 Assistants, a Town Clerk,
Coroner, Clerk of the Crown and Peace, Mareschal, Searcher, Public Notary,
Water-Bailiff, Sword-Bearer, four Serjeants at Mace, and other Officers. The
Privileges of their Charter are very extensive. The City of Waterford is
well built, and contains about 35,000 souls. It stands on the South side
of the River Suir, which is embanked by a very noble Quay, extending the
whole length of the Town : Vessels of great burden can come up to this Quay,
but the largest ships generally lie a few miles lower down: a very flourishing
commerce with England, and other countries, is the happy consequence of such a
situation. The principal articles of Export are beef, pork, butter, grain, and
linen. Packet-boats are also established between this Port, and Milford Haven
in South Wales, for the convenience of the South of Ireland. As there is no
bridge over the Suir below Carrick, the only communication with the County of
4 u
WAT
Kilkenny is by a Ferry, an inconvenience to which the great depth and breadth
of the river has hitherto compelled the inhabitants to submit. This city is about
twelve miles distant from the Sea: The harbour runs almost twelve miles up the
country, nearly in a straight line, and is all the way deep and clear. Here arc
several Charity Schools, and Humane Foundations, well supported: Many of the
public edifices are extremely elegant : The private dwellings are generally
modern, and with the other improvements of the city, keep pace with the increase
of its opulence. It gives title of Viscount to the family of Lumley, that of Earl to
the family of Talbot, and thatof Marquess to the Earl of Tyrone. The See of Water-
ford (which is valued in the King's Books at <£72. .8.. 1 Irish Money,) was united,
according to Dr. Beaufort, in the year 1536, to the See of Lisrnore : The Bishoprick
of Lismore had been founded in the beginning of the Seventh century ; but that of
Waterford was not established until the Eleventh, when the Ostmen or Danes settled
on the Irish Coast. This very small Diocese is confined to the Eastern part of the
County of Waterford, and does not extend above 10 miles in length, and 7 miles
m breadth. But the Diocese of Lismore is 30 miles long, and about 29 miles broad,
including the greatest part of the County of Waterford, and a considerable portion
of that of Tipperary. The Union stretches in length 39 miles from East to West,
and 29 miles in breadth. The Chapter of Waterford consists only of the Dean,
Precentor (see, Kilbarrymeaden), Chancellor (see, Monemointer}, and Treasurer
(see, Lisnakil[}, for there are no Prebendaries, and the Archdeacon has not a vote.
The Cathedral of Waterford is a very elegant church, erected within a few years.
The Bishop's Palace, which stands close by it, is a handsome modern structure
of no great size, and very much confined in situation. — " The Priory of St.
Catherine is the first House of Religion which appears ; it was founded by the
Ostmen for Augustinian Canons of the Congregation of St. Victor, but we know
not at what period.— The Hospital of St. Stephen, in St. Stephen's Street, was
founded for Lepers, and endowed by the Power family. This Hospital must have
been erected before the Benedictine Abbey, for John Earl of Morton, in his Charter
to that Abbey, confirmed the Leper-House to the Poor of the City.— John Earl of
Morton arrived in Waterford, A. D. 1 185, when he founded the Priory of St. John
the Evangelist in the suburbs of the City, for Monks of the Order of St,
Benedict, and confirmed to them the lands of Ballyowedin. In the Charter he
calls it his Aims-House, and makes it a Cell to the Abbey of St. Peter and St.
Paul in the City of Bath, Somersetshire. Peter de Fonte was a munificent Bene-
factor to this House.— The Friars Preachers, or Dominicans, were introduced into
this city, A. D. 1226. And upon application of the Citizens to King Henry
III, on the 20th of February, he granted his Royal approbation, that their intend-
ed house should be buift on that waste piece of ground, late the site of an ancient
tower. The building was accordingly begun, and concluded. The steeple was
a very strong building, and the Monastery (of St. Saviour), now the County
WES
Court-house, is called Black Friars. — A Friary was founded, in 1240, for Con-
Ventual Franciscans by the Lord Hugh Purcel, who was interred in the same
year, on the right hand of the High Altar. The steeple is still entire, and,
with the rest of the Abbey, is constantly kept in repair. Here are several
ancient Tombs, on one is the figure of a man in armour, in high relief, with
a shield on his left arm, on which are three Lions passant guardant in pale,
but no inscription (this was the monument of the Founder). The Holy Ghost
Hospital has been since erected on part of the ruins of the Friary." — Archdalfs

and a Town Clerk ; and gives title of Earl, as does JVaterford also, to the family
of Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury in Great Britain. It is situate upon the River
Slaney, which empties itself into the Ocean here. The Haven is large, but it is a
Bar Harbour, and no vessels can go to the town, that draw above 10 feet water ;
but must load and unload in a Creek, near the mouth of the Haven, on the Soutli
side, about three miles from Wexford, where there is a sufficiency of water, but no
W H I
shelter from the South-west winds. The entrance of the Haven is defended by
two Forts ; that on the North side, being called Fort Margaret, and the other,
on the South, Fort Roselair. Provisions of all kinds are very plentiful and cheap
here ; particularly the finest Wild Fowl, from the month of November to May.
It was called by the Danes, who built it, JVessford, and also Carman, and was
formerly a place of more strength and trade than at present. Its chief export is
Corn, particularly Barley and Malt. Here is a Mineral Well. The parishes in the
Union of Wexford are all contiguous, except Ballybrenan, which is disunited by
the intervention of the parish of Ivillenick, for the space of two miles : their con-

in the week : And is the Shire and the Assizes Town for the County. -The first
forces from England, which attempted the Conquest of Ireland, landed here. In
the Barony of Forth, adjoining to Wexford, are said to be the remains of an ancient
Colony, which was planted there by King Henry the Second. These people retain
their native language, manners, and many singular customs to this day. They in-
termarry among themselves, and have intermixed little or none with the natives.
They are remarkably industrious, cleanly to an extreme, and possessed of great
simplicity of manners. — " A. Priory of Regular Canons, called also The Priory of
St. Peter and St. Paul of Selsker; the Danes are said to have been the founders,
and the family of Roche, the Patrons of the place, were munificent Benefactors.
The Prior sat in Parliament as a Baron. The church yet remains with a very
large tower in the centre. — The Priory of the Knights Hospitallers, founded by
William Mareschal Earl of Pembroke, and dedicated to St. John and St Brigid,
was, antecedent to the Templars' abolition, the grand Commandery ; but on the
total suppression of those Knights, the consequence of this Priory gradually dimin-
ished, and the Preceptory of Kilmainham being granted to the Hospitallers, it
immediately became the Grand Commandery of their Order. There still remains
part of the old church of St. John without the town walls. — The Conventual Fran-
ciscans procured a settlement for themselves in this town in the reign of King
Henry III, and were reformed A. D. I486. — Here was also an Hospital for Lepers."

the Court of Exchequer, it was sold, and purchased by Dr. Robert Clayton, Bishop
of Clogher, by whom it was bequeathed to his niece Anne, wife to Dr. Thomas

Sigginstown, in this County, intended for the unfortunate Earl of Stafford : con-

arched." — Archdalfs Monast. Hibern. p. 339.
