   Holy water trough used in the "Mass-house" that existed near the Protestant Church. In this regard it may be of interest to remark here, though strictly speaking it is beyond the objectives for which these books are compiled, that wherever the Lom na n-Each was in Croom in the days of Seán O Tuamaigh, there was a Catholic Church near it because in his "Moladh Aonaigh Chroma" he says in one stanza:

   Dáimh is cléir is éigse ag socrughadh an chirt,
   Dáin dá léígheamh is léigheann dá loma-scrúdadh
   Ráidhte Dé gan bhaos ná dul ar gcúlaibh,
   I n-árús naomh ag Aonach Chroma an tsúghachais.

   The last two lines leave no doubt about the existence of a Catholic Church at least I think so, "at" the fair(green) of Croom. Different sites are pointed out as the fair-green and these I shall endeavour to trace down and record under their proper headings.

   Besides the Holy-water trough referred to above, there is another one outside the sacristy door of Croom Church. The present P.P. Canon Curtin once informed me that he had learned, but I believe, from some unauthoritative source, that this trough was the one in use in Donoman Church long ago despoiled and known in some records as the Church of Trostanny. I give it as I got it. One thing is certain that the trough in question was used as a pig-trough by a farmer in Domoman. He was of course ignorant of its original use. Fr. Quinlan P.P. Croom recovered it.
