______ Clondagad Church. [From Mr. T. J. Westropp.] 'The parish is first mentioned as Clondagah and Eribanub in the Papal Taxation of 1302. The last name is probably "Scribanus;" to be connected with the well named Toberscranbaun in the parish. The name Clondagad belongs to the form, so common in this country (like Glendalough, Clondanagh, &c.), marking the strange regard of the Irish for the number two. Legend says in this case that Clondagad, the plain of the two gads (or withos), derived its name from two druids, Screabaun and Fiddaun, having contested ...............

Westropp.] ‘It is the Kilmalitrie of the Papal Taxation, 1802, and was evidently remodeled in the eighteenth century; no old feature remains. The monument of the MacMahons, 1788, has already been published in "The Journal for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead." vol.iii (1897), p.899 ; but we give a new copy. The church retains its south wall, 2 feet 7 inches thick, and is 14 feet 9 inches wide, and 47 feet 6 inches long inside the lower part and fragments of the other walls remaining. A late tiled vestry projects as the east end to the south’:-- 'In the vestry’ :― Here lies the body of Bridget |
MacMahon wife to JPMD, Vol VIII, Issue 1910 - 1912, CARLOW, Page 13. Scattery Island, Parish of KiIrush (from Lord Walter Fitzgerald.) 'Scattery Island (anciently called Inish Cathy) lies in the mouth of the Shannon, about a mile from the shore, south of Kilrush. It contains 179 acres; on it there are a few thatched houses on the east side, occupied since 1843 by pilots, and a light-house at its western extremity. There are said to have been seven churches on the island, the ruins or sites of six of which are shown on the six-inch Ordnance Survey Map. Besides the churches there is the butt of a doubly vaulted castle near the pier, a Round Tower, nearly perfect, with its doorway on the ground- level, St. Senan or Synan's Blessed Well, and one Irish-inscribed slab. 'The "Martyrology of Donegal " gives two festival days for this St. Synan ,viz., the 1st and the 3rd of March, the latter being the date of his death. 'The church near the pilots' houses, known as Tampulnamarve or Kilmamarve (i.e. the Church of the Dead), is the only one in and around which interments take place ; large flat tomb-stones, overlapping one another, simply pave the interior of this church ruin. As far as I could see, during a hurried visit, there are no monuments of any interest or age among them. The "Annals of the Four Masters" state that in ‘ :― 1583. Honora , the daughter of Donnell, son of Conor, son of Turlough O’Brien, and wife of O’Conor Kerry (Conor) died, and was interred in Inis – Cathy. 'And her sister in' :― 1591. Margaret, the daughter of Donnell, son of Conor, son of Turlough, son of Teieg, son of Turlough, son of Brian Chatha-an-aenaigh (i.e.of the Battle of the Fair) O’Brien, and the wife of Turlough, the son of Brian, son of Donough MacMahon, died at Kilmacduane, and was interred at Inis-Catha (Scattery Island). 'There is a large slab broken in two, lying flat on the ground near the Pier, which at one time was removed by one of the Stoddart family to a house oh his called "Nabochlish" in Kilkee occupied by a Captain Kennedy, and which was back to Scattery Island a few years since. It belongs to the nineteenth century, and as far as I could ascertain originally stood near the church ruin called Kilnamarve. It bears an undated inscription giving instructions as to how "Rounds" performed on the Island should be carried out; the inscription reads thus’:- In the name of God amen.
