A view of a boy in the window of the ruined medieval church at Kilmalkedar near Dingle in County Kerry in about 1940. The site of Kilmalkedar consists of a large ecclesiastical complex with archaeological remains dating from the early to late medieval period. It is dedicated to a little-known local saint called Maolcethair. At the centre of this site is the twelfth century Hiberno-Romanesque Church. According to tradition, those suffering from rheumatism, ‘falling sickness’ (epilepsy), or other ills might be restored to health by passing three times through the window.

A view of the Monk’s Fishing House on the River Cong in County Mayo in about 1940. Situated not far from the site of the former Augustinian Abbey of Cong, this small stone structure probably dates to the early sixteenth century. The fishing house is located on an island on the River Cong leading towards nearby Lough Corrib. It is built on a platform of stones over a small arched opening which allows the river to flow underneath the floor. A trapdoor in the floor is thought to have been used for a net to catch fish. It is believed a line connected the fishing house to the monastery kitchen to alert the monks to a fresh catch.
