. On the divisions of the City of Armagh-Colgan thus remarks "Ex hoc loco et aliis dictis, colligimus Ardmachanam in quatuor olim partes fuisse divisam. Prima Rath Ardmacha arx Ardmachana dicebatur. Secunda Trian Mor, i e., tertia portio major. Tertia, Trian Massan, i.e., tertia portio Massan. Quarta Trian Saxon, i.e., tertia portio Saxonum appellata: quod nomen videtur adepa ex eo quod vel mercatores, vel (quod vero similius est) studiosi Anglo Saxones illic inhabi-taverint. Nam Monachi et studiosi Anglo Saxones abstrac-tioris vitae, disciplinae et bonarum litteranum gratia in magno numero olim Hiberniam frequentare solebant, ut tradunt venerabilis Beda in historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum." Lib. iii., cap. 23; lib. iv., cap. 3-4. -1116 According to the Annals of Ulster, the great house of the Abbots, in Ardmach, with twenty "howses about yt," burnt in the beginning of lent. -1121. Colgan writes that two streets of Trian Massain were burnt down. A great wind storm happened in the December of this year, which knocked off the conical cap of the Cloichthea of Ardmacha. These frequent fires, writes Ware (Life of Celsus), which happened at Ardmagh are suffi-cient proof of the meanness of their buildings in that age, which were nothing but wattles plastered over and covered with sedge or straw. Sir James Ware believed that the Irish did not begin to build with stone and mortar until the twelfth century, and Ware's opinion was universally adopted by the English and Scotch antiquaries. The next record in the Irish Annals relating to Armagh is one of great importance, as it not only calls the great church a stone structure, but also shows that it was partly without a roof for one hundred and thirty years preceding, that is, since the great conflagration of the churches by lightning in 995; so that it must have been a church of considerable magnitude. The passage occurs in the Annals of the Four Masters at 1125 as follows:-" On the 5th of the Ides of January (1125) which fell on Friday, the roof was raised on the great Damh-hag of Ardmacha, after having been fully covered with shingles by Ceallach, successor of St. Patrick, one hundred and thirty years since it had a complete roof before. The Annals of Ulster record the event under the same date. "The fifth of the Ides of January was the Church of Ardmagh broke in the roofe, which was covered by Ceallagh, the Coarbe of St. Patrick, being unroofed in an hundred and thirtie yeares before." On the 12th January, 1125, writes Ware, Celsus put the last hand to the repairs of the Church of Armagh, by cover-ing it entirely with tiles; whereas, for one hundred and thirty years before, viz., from the year 995, when it was burned down, it was but in part roofed. -1126. The church called the Regles of the Abbey of SS. Peter and Paul, was erected by Imhar uah Aedhagan. It was situated "on the northern verge of the hill of Armagh within the ecclesiastical precincts, about 130 yards north of the Cathedral." (Dean Reeves) This Ivar O'Hegan lived in a cell near the Cathedral, and led an exceeding austere life. (Ussher, vol. vi., 434.) In this year we have an account in the Four Masters of "a great storm of war throughout Ireland in general," so that Ceallach (Celsus), successor of Patrick, was obliged to be for one month and a year absent from Ard-Macha, establishing peace among the men of Ireland, and promulgating rules and good customs in every district among the laity and the clergy. He died at Ardpatrick, County of Limerick, 1 April, 1129, aged about fifty, and was buried at Lismore.
