It was built in a hollow and built in one night, A place to shelter their priests while they read Mass. It is remarkable that though roughly done it stands the test of time and should be preserved as a monument to the faith. St. Patrick had visited this place and was described as "a fair haired boy who came in of the sea" - Some one wrote of these martyrs-
