Description
Abstract (cited)

Was Áth an Tearmainn at Cloghvanaha, Shrule, Co. Mayo? Shrule abbey held the ford to Iar-Connacht of the Uí Fhlaithbertaig, powerful opponents of the Uí Chonchobair. If Toirrdelbach Mór’s inauguration site and the Cong-Tuam diocesan boundary were identical, Shrule was key to dividing and controlling the Uí Fhlaithbertaig, politically and ecclesiastically.
