more on Mac Rime and Bron

I I cannot recommend enough the book" Life and Writings of St Patrick"
by Dr Healy 1905.
It contains by far the greatest references to Bron and Mac Rime in any single book.Note that the relevant comments are spread widely through the book.

In particular ,while most of the comments are found in other books his comments about Augris Head and Arnabrone are unique.
In particular it is the ONLY place I have seen where (page 291)it is said that a local King Mari(hy Fiachra) in the Magherow peninsula across bay from Killeaspuigbrone.Gave land to St Patrick and Mac Rime" gave his son"(gave it to HIS son.The land for the church is likely Ballintemple near Ard Tarmon,the grant confirmed by Cairbre,head chief of the area and eponomous individual for the area now know as Carbury.
