For a description of these Irish oratories, and especially St.

62, where it is figured.

Multa ubi pro meritis dantur miracula sanctis.
At the west end of the oratory at Iona, overlapping its side walls, is
an enclosure, which is of late construction, but is filled with
gravestones, two of which bear Irish inscriptions. Inserted in the
west end of the enclosure is a cross, which, however, is not in the
centre, but directly faces the end of the cist on the south side of
the oratory.

Concremavit Dunbarre atque Malros usurpata, Britanni autem

connected with St. Bar or Finbar, and may have been a Scotch
foundation, and been named from him, as Dunblane is from St. Blane.
