Book Description
Excerpt from The Place-Names of Decies Many - perhaps the majority - of townland and parish names possess an antiquity far greater than the present shape of the name would suggest. With a form as of yesterday the name has not unfrequently behind it the hoary antiquity of several centuries. From their occurrence in early deeds and charters we know that many townland and nearly all parish names go back to the Invasion, and undoubtedly a large proportion of these to a period consider ably more remote. Sub-denominations - i.e. Names of townland sub-divisions, roads, wells, fields &c. - are generally less ancient, but even of these a certain proportion is of great age. In hundreds of instances what are now merely townland sub-divisions were formerly independent townlands, and similarly there are townland names which formerly designated not merely the present townland but a district or manor embracing several plowlands.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...church stood--the townland and church deriving their name in turn from the (probably 6th century) founder of the latter. The English, as was their custom, re-dedicated the church, the new (_//) See Journal, Waterford and S.E. Ireland Archaeological Society, Vol. II., p. 83. titular being St. Michael the Archangel, as the "pattern," still kept, testifies. Only insignificant remains of the church survive; these are rather picturesquely situated on the extreme point of a fertile headland which juts out into that portion of Tramore Bay, known as ' The Back Strand." A landslip seems likely, in the no distant future, to bury in the waves the walls which have withstood the storms of centuries. The church consisted of nave and chancel, but unfortunately the chancel arch has fallen. A curious feature of the ruin is the sloping pier, evidently cotemporaneous with the church itself, which supports the north side wall. It is evident that when the builders had reached the height of three or four feet from the ground they found the wall out of plumb--inclining outwards--possibly through defective foundation. They solved the difficulty by erecting the sloping pier, and thence upward incorporating the pier with the wall! Close to the church lie a great stone font or laver of rude workmanship and portion of a second and much smaller, but otherwise similar, vessel. Several well denned mounds, with traces of many earthen buildings and enclosures, immediately to the north of the ruin, tell of former extensive settlement. An ancient roadway is traceable along the headland and by the church till it loses itself over the low clay cliff, a few yards to the south-east of the ruin. TOWNLANDS.
