	St. Colman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bishop and patron of Kilmacduagh, born at Kiltartan c.
		Thence he sought greater seclusion in the woods of Burren, in 592, and at length, in 610, founded a monastery, which became the centre of the tribal Diocese of Aidhne, practically coextensive with the present See of Kilmacduagh.
		Although the "Martyrology of Donegal" assigns his feast to 2 February, yet the weight of evidence and the tradition of the diocese point to 29 October, on which day his festival has been kept from time immemorial, and which was fixed by a rescript of Pope Benedict XIV, in 1747, as a major double.

	Kilmacduagh 1
		After studying my Irish travel books and comparing their pictures to my screen captures from "Manions", I concluded that the double stone wall where Rory tumbled Rachel from her horse was located at Kilmacduagh, as was the ruined abbey where The Young Irelanders held their secret meetings.
		Kilmacduagh round tower, which leans at an angle and is referred to as the Leaning Tower of Ireland, was what helped me pinpoint the location.
		After spotting her brother riding his horse down the road where she and Rory are enjoying a tumble in the field, Rachel jumps up and runs to the stone wall.

		And though each storey to the top is lighted, the single window in each is placed so near the offsets on which the floors rested, as to show that they were useful for casting out missiles [objects] on assailants as for the admissions of light.
