St. Patricks Confessio: 54 - 58

This is possibly the oldest church still standing in Ireland, and

may be something like the churches where St. Patrick's converts,

or their children, worshiped, though it was not in the area where

he is thought to have preached.  You can see more pictures, 

including interior pictures, here.
