    In Abbeyview 2009, we see that the wheel is gone, the wall is repaired and the cow has fecked off. On the 25" OSI, the building at right (with cow) is labelled Shanclogh Glebe House, with next the Church of John the Baptist, behind it Templemore or Cathedral, finally Clogans or Round Tower

    From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilmacduagh_monastery ... According to legend, Saint Colman MacDuagh was walking through the woods of the Burren when his girdle fell to the ground. Taking this as a sign, he built his monastery on that spot. The girdle was said to be studded with gems and was held by the O'Shaughnessys centuries later, along with St. Colman's crozier, or staff. The girdle was later lost, but the crozier came to be held by the O'Heynes and may now be seen in the National Museum of Ireland. ... It is said that, in the Diocese of Kilmacduagh, no man will ever die from lightning. This legend was put to the test when one unlucky soul was struck, but the force of the bolt made him fly through the air into neighbouring County Clare, where he died. ... The round tower is notable both as a fine example of this particularly Irish feature but also because of its noticeable lean, over half a metre from the vertical. The tower is over 30 metres (98 feet 5 inches) tall, according to measurements taken in 1879,[6] with the only doorway some 7 metres above ground level. The tower probably dates from the 10th century. See this old print at the NLI - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000544067
