- (continued from previous page)Catrach the Island of the Cahir or Stone fort or Cathir na Naomh and sometimes Cathair Phadruig. Here is small ancient church in the primitive Irish style called by some Teampull na naom and by others Templepatrick.
Near its east gable on the outside is a flag inscribed with a cross and called Leaba Phadruig or the bed of Patrick. On the altar within the church is laid a remarkable slab called Teac na Naomh about two feet in diameter and composed of different kinds of stones which is said to be of great virtues. Boats passing this island lower the main-sail thrice out of reverence to the saints whose memories are here celebrated. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
