Clonmacnoise
Monastery · 547 · Clonmacnoise
Ciarán's house on the Shannon, founded in the year the Annals of Ulster enter it and named in their obits for four centuries after. Its abbots are annalists' men: the record of the house is the record that survives of the Irish midlands.
The year is the source’s own.
Who
- Ciarán of Clonmacnoise Founder · The annal's own obit calls it his: he died 'in the 7th year after he had commenced to build Clonmacnoise'. The editor's note at 511 names him founder in as many words, but the annal is cited here rather than the editor.
