1724. THE BRIDGE OF GLONKILLFARICK.

The pleasant road running seaward from Regaby Gate passes through a shallow glen drained by a stream which enters Ramsey Bay at the unattractively named Dog Mills. The presentment given below reveals that the ancient and now forgotten name of the glen was Glion Keeil Pharic and that the local keeil was (as has been already conjectured) dedicated to St. Patrick.
