"Leaving Dublin we passed over level ground through country pleasing enough to the eye, overlooking the sea till we came to Drogheda, a fairly rich territory, five miles distant from the sea. Thence we set out and journeyed for one day to Dundalk, once an illustrious city, but at the present day rather ruinous. Continuing our way we journeyed twenty-four miles and arrived at another metropolitan city called Armagh. It is the seat of the Primate of the island, but is very desolate, the best thing in it being an Abbey of Regular Canons. It was here that we began to meet with brutish people. Thence we left the sea behind us and began to penetrate into the mountains. Having journeyed twenty miles we arrived at a cathedral city, called Clogher, beyond which the country is full of thieves. We entered another district called Fermanagh (?), which is full of robbers, woods, lakes, and marshes, proceeding as far as Tremon (?) where there is an earl: here the rule of England ceases."

"Proceeding from Kesh through an agreeably diversified and highly romantic country, and passing, at three miles, Clonelly, the residence of F. W. Barton, Esq., on our right, we soon reach the small town of Pettigoe situated on the Tarmon river, which, like the Kesh stream, conveys the contents of the numerous rills issuing from the dreary moorland hills on the north to Lough Erne. The town is within a mile of that part of Lough Erne which encircles Boa island, the largest and most important of Lough Erne's numerous isles. The island, which comes within a quarter of a mile of the shore, is fertile, and might be, under a different management, beautifully verdant. It contains, as we have observed in our general description of the lake in the preceding road, 1300 statute acres. Though destitute of timber, and greatly disfigured by bad fences, it is, from its extent, shape, and the vast tract of water which surrounds it, a fine feature, particularly as seen from the wooded shores skirting the beautifully-situated glebe of Templecarn, or of Waterfoot, the seat of Colonel Barton, to whom the island belongs. On the glebe lands are the ruins of a castle said to have been the residence of the first bishop of Clogher. Pettigoe is romantically situated, and, as regards its localities, well circumstanced for the tourist who wishes to know Lower Lough Erne, Lough Derg, and the wild, desolate country lying north ward. The little town is improving ; and under encouragement, on the part of the proprietor, we hope soon to see a comfortable inn and good post-horses. At present, however, cars can be hired at the more respectable public houses, where travellers occasionally stop. It contains a church, Roman Catholic chapel, and Methodist meeting-house."

"A 54 page report lifting the suspension from John Goodwin and giving a detailed account of his case.
The widow of Hugh Harran last summer, went to St. Patrick's Purgatory in order to obtain its indulgences when she heard that it was being regarded as a place of public penance. When she arrived,she went to a confessor called George Mohan so that she could confess her sins. During her confession she told her sins and sought absolution and she told her confessor that she had verbally harmed her PP, John Goodwin, because her husband had died without the sacraments. When the confessor heard this, he came out of the confessional box, before the woman had finished her confession and had received absolution, and he ordered her to follow him. He took her to Rev Patrick Bellew who was Prior of the place and a relative of the bishop. Since he spoke to the Prior without the woman's permission he violated the seal of confession by revealing to the Prior what he had heard in confession from the woman, that her husband had died without the comfort of the sacraments because of the negligence of Fr Goodwin. Then the Prior ordered the woman to bring her son to him on the next day so that he could see if this was true. She did as she was told and brought her son to a place where the confessor, the Prior and other priests were present. At once, the Prior gave to the son the book of the holy evangelists so that he could swear an oath. He, however refused saying 'It is enough that I have lost my father. I don't want to be annoyed even more'. However the Prior continued to urge him and tried to get him to swear by saying "What would happen if your mother died in her present state?". The young man replied "Our priest at home would be opposed to it". The Prior then, to satisfy the mother and her terrified son, pointed to Rev [Edward] Kernan saying "This is the superior of your priest".
After the conversation, the Prior drew up charges against Fr John Goodwin, his curate, and accused him before the bishop that very many sick people had died without the sacraments because of his negligence. When Fr Goodwin heard about this, he at once summoned to himself the widow Harran, and Catherine Curran who had gone to St Patrick : Purgatory at the same time. He asked the widow why she had made accusations against him to the Rev Patrick Bellew, the relative of the bishop and Prior of Lough Derg. In very clever words she told the parish priest what she had said in confession and how the confessor there had granted her forgiveness. The priest asked her three times whether she had accused him of anything criminal. From this he knew that the seal of confession had been broken and so that he could proceed wisely he wanted to bring together proven and wise priests to ask them what he should do. All those who were brought together agreed to meet the bishop and tell him the name of the person who had broken the seal. Encouraged by these men, the parish priest denounced the Rev Mohan for breaking the seal of confession he heard from the woman. He accused also Patrick Bellew a relative of the bishop and Prior of Lough Derg and Edward Kernan, who was the chancellor.
This very serious case was brought to the bishop. His grace was concerned about the case against his relative and the other priests. We learnt in another letter how disturbed he was and the reason for his judgement. The judgement was delivered in a spirit of hatred and revenge. When he called the widow Harran and Catherine Curran, he at first terrified them with threats and heard from the widow what she had said to her confessor, and what he had afterwards revealed to the Prior without her permission. However, she said that she would not recognise the confessor again because she had a bad memory for faces. However, her travelling companion, Catherine Curran, who had gone to confession after the widow, knew the confessor and pointed him out in an episcopal court. It seemed that the matter was finished and that the bishop would condemn the defendants for breaking the seal of confession and would suspend them until he could examine the matter better. Nevertheless he pardoned them and accused John Goodwin of calumny and suspended him from all his priestly and pastoral offices for a year and said that the suspension would be forever if he didn't give expenses to all the judges and seek forgiveness on bended knees from them.
From this sentence, John Goodwin appealed to the Archbishop of Armagh and the Primate of all Ireland. He, who had known the bishop for a long time, had previously tried to remove the scandals from that diocese and refused to accept the appeal saying, "I do not wish to get involved in your affairs in the diocese. I want nothing to do with it. You must approach our guide and lord who is inspired by God, by going to the Roman Curia. This is the only safe way."
This was done and he is appealing to the Holy See and has received a rescript dated 15 December 1804. The case was handed over to the Archbishop of Armagh and he was given power to deal with it. Therefore the case is about the sentence of suspension which the bishop of Clogher laid upon the Rev John Goodwin, PP of Clones.
There was also another case to be seen about the Rev Maginn which we have learned was null and void."

Barnesmore Bog NHA is an area of upland blanket bog and heath in south Co. Donegal. It extends from Barnesmore Mountain in the north to Clogher Hill in the south and from the lower slopes of Croaghmeen and Croaghakeadew in the west to the Donegal/Tyrone border in the east. The site is bound to the north-west by the main road from Donegal to Ballybofey. The western boundary of the site extends down the slopes of Croaghmeen and Croaghakeadew as far as improved agricultural fields and overgrazed bog. Mature forestry plantations border the eastern, southern and northern parts of the site. Part of the eastern boundary of the site runs between Lough Innaghachola and Loughnaweelagh along the border between Co. Donegal and Co. Tyrone. A wind power installation and associated access roads, which occupies part of Croaghakeadew Mountain (398 m) on the west and extends eastwards to Loughnaweelagh, northwards to Lough Namaddy, and southwards to just north of Lough Naleaghany, has been excluded from the site.
The site has an altitude range 150 m to 450 m, Barnesmore Mountain being the highest point. The western part of the site is drained by tributaries of the Lowerymore River and the eastern part of the site by Camowen Burn and the Leaghany River, the latter watercourses flowing into Lough Derg. Bedrock geology consists of schist and gneiss.
The site is a complex mosaic of upland blanket bog, wet heath and flushes developed on a series of granite ridges connected by gently sloping terrain and incorporating a number of streams. Over twenty relatively nutrient-poor lakes occur within the site, the largest being Lough Golagh, Lough Slug, Lough Atlieve, Lough Namaddy, Lough Nabrackboy and Loughnaweelagh. The blanket bog reaches its greatest extent on the gently undulating slopes on the western, north-western and southern parts of the site.
The vegetation consists of a relatively intact assemblage of blanket bog species, including Ling Heather (Calluna vulgaris), Cross-leaved Heath (Erica tetralix), Purple Moor-grass (Molinia caerulea), Round-leaved Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia), Great Sundew (D. anglica), Common Cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium), Black Bog-rush (Schoenus nigricans), Deergrass (Scirpus cespitosus), Bog-myrtle (Myrica gale), Tormentil (Potentilla erecta), Carnation Sedge (Carex panicea), Bog Asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum), Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) and Fir Clubmoss (Huperzia selago).
There are occasional bog pools on the site colonised with Bogbean (Menyanthes trifoliata) and Bog Sedge (Carex limosa) grading into quaking bog-moss lawns of Sphagnum papillosum, S. cuspidatum and S. auriculatum at the pool margins together with sundews and Marsh Violet.
Bog mosses are locally frequent throughout the site as hummock/hollow complexes (Sphagnum subnitens, S. papillosum, S. capillifolium, S. compactum, S. auriculatum and S. cuspidatum), quaking lawns and flushes (S. recurvum) or on localised areas of bare peat (S. tenellum). Other mosses include large hummocks of Racomitrium lanuginosum, Hypnum jutlandicum, Pleurozium schreberi and Campylopus atrovirens. Liverworts characteristic of blanket bogs include Mylia taylori and Odontoschisma sphagni.
Lichens on the bog surface include Cladonia portentosa, C. uncialis and C. subcervicornis.
Other habitats on the site include scrub along stream corridors, dry heath, wet heath, acid grassland on peaty soil, lakes, streams and flushes. Regenerating cutover with deep pools occurs west of Lough Slug.
There is variation in the species composition and abundance of the aquatic flora in the lakes depending on exposure, water depth and the nutrient status of the lake waters. The aquatic flora of the lakes includes Broad-leaved pondweed (Potamogeton natans), Bladderwort (Utricularia sp.), Shoreweed (Littorella uniflora), Quillwort (Isoetes lacustris), Water Horsetail (Equisetum fluviatile), stands of Bottle Sedge (Carex rostrata) and Bogbean.
Flushes with a diverse flora occur throughout the site, along the stream corridors and in the vicinity of lakes and at the base of and on slopes. Vegetation includes stands of rushes (Juncus effusus, J. conglomeratus, J. acutiflorus), Marsh Thistle (Cirsium palustre), Purple Moor-grass, Black Bog-rush, Marsh Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris), Star Sedge (Carex echinata), Lesser Spearwort, Royal Fern (Osmunda regalis), Bulbous Rush (Juncus Bulbosus), Marsh Violet, Bog Pondweed (Potamogeton polygonifolius) and Common Butterwort (Pinguicula vulgaris).
There are patches of dry heath on the drier banks of the streams or on steep slopes with a thinner soil notably the eastern slopes of Barnesmore Gap and the north-eastern side of Lough Nabrackboy. The vegetation of these areas includes Tormentil, Ling Heather, Hard Fern (Blechnum spicant), Heath Milkwort (Polygala serpyllifolia), Bell Heather (Erica cinerea), Green-ribbed Sedge (Carex binervis), Wood Sorrel (Oxalis acetosella), wood-rushes (Luzula multiflora, L. sylvatica) and Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum).
Acid grassland/wet heath mosaics occurs on thinner mineral/peat soils on the slopes of Croaghmeen, to the west of the site, and the hill slopes north-east of Lough Slug. These are characterised by Mat Grass (Nardus stricta), Sweet Vernal-grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum), Heath Bedstraw (Galium saxatile), Green-ribbed Sedge, Sheep’s Fescue (Festuca ovina), Devil’s-bit Scabious (Succisa pratensis), Velvet Bent (Agrostis canina), Heath Grass (Danthonia decumbens) and the mosses Pleurozium schreberi, Hylocomium splendens and Polytrichum commune.
Irish Hare, Badger, Red Grouse, Golden Plover, Peregrine Falcon and Common Frog occur on the site. Peregrine Falcon nest on the steep slopes of Barnesmore Gap. These are all Irish Red Data Book species.
In general the blanket bog resource has decreased in the Barnesmore Gap area due to extensive afforestation on the eastern, northern and southern sides of the site.
Relatively recent land uses on the western periphery of the site include localised heavy grazing by sheep.
Apart from very localised damage, Barnesmore Bog NHA is a site of considerable conservation significance containing a very large area of relatively intact upland blanket bog with virtually no peat extraction or overgrazing. This site supports a good diversity of blanket bog microhabitats including hummock/hollow complexes and flushes. Other habitats on the site include rocky outcrops, dry heath, wet heath, streams, several naturally nutrient-poor lakes that add to the habitat diversity and therefore conservation value of the site. Blanket bog habitat is a globally scarce resource. It is largely confined to coastal regions at temperate latitudes with cool, wet, oceanic climates. North-west Europe contains some of the best-developed areas of blanket bog in the world. The most extensive areas are found in Ireland and Britain. Upland blanket bogs, due to their exposure to severe climatic conditions at high elevations, are particularly vulnerable to erosion by human activities and extensive areas are currently undergoing active erosion due mainly to overgrazing. The current area of intact upland blanket bog in Ireland represents only a fraction of the original resource, due to the combined impacts of afforestation and overgrazing, and intact examples are therefore extremely valuable for nature conservation. Their long-term survival requires sensitive management.

"The history of this Purgatory of St. Patrick is very curious and interesting. The first recorded account of the place is from the pen of Henry, a Benedictine monk of Saltrey, in Huntingdonshire in England, who wrote a treatise de “Purgatorio S. Patritii," about the year 1152. He declares that he received his information from Gilbert, a monk of Loda, or Louth, in Lincoln, who himself received all the details from a certain ‘Oenus Miles,’ or, a soldier-knight called Owen, who served in the armies of King Stephen. Owen was an Irishman, and made a pilgrimage to the Purgatory, all of which he in confidence communicated to Gilbert. Henry of Saltrey adds that Owen's account was continued by the testimony of Patrick, third of that name, who was bishop of the place where Lough Derg is situated, and who also declared that 'many of those who visited the cave never returned, and even those who return pine away because of the great torments they suffered.’ There is no bishop of the name of Patrick at this time in the lists given by Ware either for the diocese of Clogher or Raphoe. Henry of Saltrey's story is to this effect : ‘Our Lord Jesus Christ, visibly appearing to Saint Patrick, led him into a desert place, and there showed him a circular cave (fossam rotundam) dark inside, and at the same time said to him, whoever, armed with the true faith and truly penitent, will enter that cave and remain in it for the space of a day and a night, will be purged from the sins of his whole life — in modern language, obtain a plenary indulgence — and moreover, passing through it, if his faith fail not — (si in fide constanter egisset) — he will witness not only the torments of the damned but also the joys of the blessed." He then adds, that after this vision, St. Patrick in great joy built a church on that spot, and made the canons of St. Augiistine guardians of the same, and he surrounded the cave, which is in the churchyard in front of the church, with a wall,
and closed it with a —
‘Dore bowden with iron and stele
And locke and key made thereto
That no men should the dore undo.’

"The ‘station’ begins at ‘St. Patrick's Bed,’ in the centre of which there is an upright circular stone-shaft, about four feet high, and eight inches in diameter, with spiral flutings and a plain iron cross fixed on the top. This stone-shaft is said to be the genuine ‘clogh-oir,’ or golden-stone, from which the diocese of Clogher has derived its name. It was originally a pagan idol, and, like Apollo Pythius, seems to have delivered oracular responses, until it was exorcised and blessed by our Apostle. Two circular iron bands, nearly eaten away by rust, lend some colour to the idea that this stone was originally covered with metal plates, which were secured by these iron clamps. This seems to be the only ancient relic in Station Island. There are four inscribed stones in the south wall of the Prison Chapel ; two of them were head- stones over the graves of Friar Doherty and Friar M'Grath, whose names are written in English characters of the last century. The third stone contains the names of four of the saints (the remaining names are now undecipherable) to whom the “beds" are dedicated ; but they are written in characters by no means archaic."

"[Station Island] is a mere rock, rising only a few feet above the water, and apparently not much more than half an Irish acre in extent. It is about a hundred yards long, and varies in breadth from twenty to forty yards.
There is a neat church, erected four or five years ago, a commodious
dwelling-house for the three or four priests who reside on the island
during 'station time ;' and five or six lodging-houses for the penitents,
where they get some rest and refreshment during their stay, but they never dream of going regularly to bed. These houses are untenanted, and, indeed, uncared-for during the greater part of the year, hence they present a somewhat dilapidated appearance. Their owners only charge some few pence ahead per day for such accommodation as they afford. The only other building on the island is the prison chapel, which has now taken the place of the original cave called St. Patrick's Purgatory. There are also seven 'beds' of stone between the church and the 'prison.' Their position is marked with much accuracy on Ware's map of the island, drawn more than 200 years ago, and they are dedicated respectively to Saints Patrick, Bridget, Columcille, Brendan, Molaisre, Catherine, and Dabeog or Fintan; the two latter and the patron saints of the island. The Four Masters invariably call Lough Derg 'Termon Dabeog,' or the Abbey-land of St. Dabeog. These stone beds were originally little penitential cells where the saints of old spent many a weary vigil in prayer and penance. Now they are merely circular spaces paved with stone, or the naked rock, and surrounded by a low wall, about a foot and a half high."
