800 Positio reliquiarum Ronain filii Berich in arca auri et
argenti.—_Ib._
Footnote 553:
In hac mansione juxta oratorium meum ad meridiem contra orientalem
plagam Sanctæ Crucis, quam ibidem erexi.—_Vit. S. Cuth._, c. 37.
Footnote 554:
Atque in ecclesia beati apostoli Petri in dextera parte altaris
petrino in sarcophago repositum.—_Ib._, c. 40. At that time the right
side of the altar was the south side, but in 1485 this was altered in
the Roman Church, and the right side declared to be the north side,
because the right hand of the crucifix on the altar pointed to that
side.
Footnote 555:
Atque in levi arca recondita in eodem quidem loco, sed supra
pavimentum, dignæ venerationis gratia, locarent.—_Ib._, c. 42.
Footnote 556:

pavimentum sanctuarii composuerunt.—_Ib._
Footnote 557:

desuper arcam, in qua incorrupta ejusdem Patris membra
locaverunt.—_Ib._ c. 43.

Sim. Dun, _Hist. Reg._, ad an. 1104.
Footnote 559:
Reg. Mon. Dun. Lib. _de admirandis Beati Cuthberti_, c. 43.
Footnote 560:
Nec et de miraculo in reparatione ecclesiæ tacendum est, in qua
gloriosa amborum, hoc est, Episcopi Conleath et hujus virginis S.
Brigidæ corpora a dextris et a sinistris altaris decorati in
monumentis posita ornatis vario cultu auri et argenti et gemmarum et
pretiosi lapidis, atque coronis aureis et argenteis desuper
pendentibus requiescunt.—Messing. Florileg., _Vit. S. Brigidæ_, p.
199.
Footnote 561:
818 _Diarmaid Ab. Iae co sgrin Colaim Cille do dul a nAlbain_
(Diarmaid, abbot of Iona, went to Scotland with the shrine of St.
Columba).—_Chron. Scot._ The same notice appears in the Annals of the
Four Masters.
Footnote 562:
This burying-ground is now called _Cladh an Diseart_. It was carefully
examined this summer (1876) by the author and Mr. James Drummond,
R.S.A., and some excavations they made disclosed the foundations of a
rude stone oratory, about 26 feet long by 14 broad, the wall being two
feet thick. At the eastern end is a small recess in the wall, and in
this recess was found some years ago the stone which is figured in the
_Proceedings of the Antiq. Society_, vol x. p. 349, and believed to be
the stone pillow which was placed as a monument at St. Columba’s
grave. The oratory may have been erected over his grave by Abbot
Breasal, as he appears in the Calendars at 18th May as _Breasal o
Dertaigh_, or Breasal of the Oratory.—Colg. _A.SS._
