    hopped off him at that moment and went as far as Kilmacduagh. He knew then where to build his churches. He built seven churches there, and the ruins are still to be seen. He also built a monastry in Kilmacdaugh and was teaching school there. There were two hundred monks once there.
    In one of these churches a man named Taylor is entombed and a drop is supposed to be falling on him every day of the year.
    There is also a round tower in Kilmacduagh. It is about 110 feet in height. When Cromwell invaded Ireland it was one of the towers he thought to destroy. He fired at it from the hill of Tarmon but he only knocked off a small piece. It was rebuilt again and a man in this parish is still living which worked at the rebuilding.
    St. Colman is buried in Kilmacduagh Cemetery and a palm tree is growing near his grave to show where he is buried.
    The thunder or lightning never does any damage in this Parish since St. Colman died.
    There are a lot of people called after him in the parish. The 29th of October is the feast day of St. Colman and the people never work

    There are a lot of blessed wells in this parish which are dedicated to Saint Coleman. There is one in Kiltartan where he was baptized It is situated on the right side of the Gort-Galway road. This well can cure sore eyes or sore feet and if a person slept overnight there they would get cured. The person would have to have a lighted candle near the well while he would be sleeping there.
    The people pay visits to this well on the feast day of St Colman and they say the rosary there.
    There is another well in Kilmacduagh which is called St Colman's well also. It is situated about 25 yards from the Clare border. It is said that when St Colman knelt and prayed in this place a well sprung up. The well is not deep and it's waters are beautiful and cool.
    This water can never be (spoiled) boiled. It was frequently tried by many persons but everybody failed.
    There was a brown fish in this well

    she got so proud of them she lost her virtue, and the apron caught fire. When she reached home she told Colman, and he threw this great stone after her. There is a huge stone in Mc Carthy's field and to the present day it is called "St Colman's Rock."
    The Protestant Church in Cloyne is the cathedral built by St. Colman. When the Cathedral was built, one Sunday the priest said mass, and afterwards, a man from Ballycroneen, known as "Johnny the Prophet", said that the mass on that day three weeks wouldn't be finished. When that day three weeks came, the priest was saying mass. After the Gospel, he turned round to make some announcements, and he asked if Johnny the Prophet was in the church. "Yes, I'm here," said Johnny. "Where's your prohecy now Johnny"? said the priest. "The mass isn't finished yet father", said Johnny. That minute news came that Cromwell was coming, and the priest + people fled, + took refuge in breed's caves outside the town. There they stayed until the soldiers passed. It was Cromwell who turned the Cathedral into a Protestant Church, and to this day it stands as such.

He caught the first one that he came to & Mrs. Perfse caught her also, both pulling their own way. Fr. Colman pushed Mrs. perfse away and gave a good squeeze to her arm and it was useless to her after.

    The old people believe that St. Colman went from Kiltartan (the place of his birth) to Kilmachduagh, where he built his monastary, in two steps. I was once shown his footprints on the rocks in Inchie where he landed in the first step, about a mile from his birthplace.
    He went from that to Kilmachduagh- a distance of about a mile and a half- in the next step.
    Another saint tried to do the same and falling broke his ribs. The print of St. Colman's foot and print of the other Saint's ribs can still be

    The church was built on a hill, but nothing remains now but one side wall. Nothing is known locally about it.
    It was probably built to commemorate the memory of St. Colman. It is in the land of Miss Ward. (Corker)

Nothing ever eat the hay for him.

    Saint Colman is the local patron saint of this district. He was born in Kilmacduagh. There are three wells called after his name, one in Corker, one in Kilmacduagh and one in Cregg-Mahon.
    There is a story told and it says that when Colman was born his mother was bringing him to the Church to be baptized but there was no priest to be got but at last two monks came along and it was such a dry county that no water to be got.
    One of the monks threw a stone against a rock and immediately a spring of water rushed forth and the baby was baptized. There are other stories told and they say two priests came along one was lame and the other

    About three miles from Gorrt there is a place called Rath-Cairn. In Rath-Cairn there is a holy well called Saint Colman's well. Beside this well there is a large stone on which are the prints of St. Colman's feet and knees. On one occasion he was going to a funeral. He felt very tired and thirsty and he knelt on this rock and prayed for water. Water appeared immediately in a hole nearby. The print of his knees remained in the rock and they are still to be seen.
    Rath-Cairn is so called from the following legend:- King Guaire and King Conal fought there one time. King Conal was slain and buried on the spot. There is a Cairn on the spot where he was buried.

    During the seventh century a party of monks arrived from Inisboffin by sea at Tallabane owing to a quarrel between the Irish and English monks on that island. St Colman at the head of his English monks left their island monastery.
    At Tallabane, in the western portion of Kilgeever parish, he built his new monastery. The ruins measure twenty-five feet by twelve and the remains of the walls measure four feet in height. Two side-walls and portion of a gable still stand. The building was built with a kind of sand-stone plastered with a mixture like "dobe". There were two apartments one the church, and the other, living quarters for the monks. There were openings for two windows and one door in each apartment. After some years' residence there St Colman and his monks left the place and went to Magh Eó where he built his famous monastery

    Paddy Coleman's Evil Spirit
    There was a man one time who lived in Kilvery. His name was Paddy Colman. An evil spirit always was appearing to him every place he went. The spirit one one occasion told him to kindle a fire at a certain place and that he would appear there to him the next night and that if he did that he would be saved. Paddy went to a priest called Fr. Flannery the Parish of Aughagower and he told him the story. The priest told him to cut three circles out side the fire and he gave him holy water and he blessed it three times.
    The next night the spirit appeared to Paddy Colman again as he stood near the fire. He kept

    There was a schoolmaster named Colman who was a publican in Ballinscarty at one time. He built a hedge outside his house and the name thus got it's origin- "baile na scairre" or in English Ballinascartty "the town of the hawthorn". The tree is still outside Forde's house.

    There is another well at Renasalough at the edge of the Fox covert. This is called "St. Colman's Well". This is only barely 100 yards within the Boundary of the Cloyne Diocese, of which St. Colman is the Patron. "Rounds" have been performed at this "well" also, & the same tradition exists that its waters won't boil. This is visited by a few of the locals on St John's Eve, & they believe again that its waters benefit the eyes. As a matter of fact, one of the children at present coming to school, suffering from weak eyes, was taken there.
    When speaking of old cemeteries earlier, I forgot to mention, about another which is in the Parish of Carrigtwohill also in the Cloyne Diocese. The Graves in this can easily be seen, & the head of the grave, & the end, in some cases, are marked by stones, fairly substantial ones, standing on end. This is derelict on the side of the Road, in a marshy, swampy place & must have been hundreds of years since any grave was opened in it, and the stones are not interfered with, & the story is current round the locality, that people
