This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ... three. One called Gloonpatrick is at Oxford by the side of a stream where a large bullaun is in a stone sunk in the earth with a few stones built round to keep out rubbish. One called Patrick's Well is in the demesne of Ballinamore which is a similar bullaun in a stone sunk in a low mound of stones and grass, by the side of which are the foundations of a small rectangular building. The third is a little east of Ballinamore House, and is but a small hollow which may be natural, but it is accepted as a bullaun. Local tradition says that St. Patrick knelt in prayer at these three places, the hollows being worn by his knees, and there is an old saying that the part between these three stones will always be safe from wars and destruction.

The mound and the foundations show clearly such an arrangement as exists at Patrick's Well in Kilcorkey parish of Co. Roscommon. This well is not a spring but a large stone with a large and small bullaun sunk in the ground. A sort of alcove has been built over it, and the alcove is approached by a narrow passage about 9 ft. long, sloping downwards so that at the opening of the alcove it is below the level of the bullauns. The passage is open above. Stones are piled all round so that the alcove is in the middle of a small cairn about 3 ft. high. Adjoining the cairn on the north are remains of a small rectangular building, of which enough of the west end remains to show that it was built with very large stones. It is like the cell or house sometimes se...
