Burial at Lullymore, Co. Kildare

"Possible annalistic reference to the building of the banked enclosure at Lullymore appears in the three fragments of annals (O'Donovan 1860, 39-44). This relates that in the year AD 722 an army which combined groups of the Northern and Southern Ui Neill and the King of the Hy Maine from Connaght, were defeated by forces from Leinster in the area near the Hill of Allen, and that their king, Aedh Laighen, was killed. Some survivors sought refuge and an honorable burial for their king at Lullymore:

But his sons carried the body of Aedh Laighen, with Aedh Allan, son of Fergal, to Lilcach, where Modichu, son of Amairgin, and the Gall Craibhtheach were; and it was on this occasion that the Ui Neil and Connaghtmen erected the wall of the church, they being in the disguise of the clergy, and they were thus saved through the miracles of saints; so that the friendship of the Ui Neill and the Connaghtmen is in that church from that forward.

Gall Craibhtheach could be translated as a pious or generous foreigner, not nescessarily someone from Gaul. The phrase translated here as 'wall of the church' was cladh na cille in the original; this could also be understood to mean a bank, ditch, or boundary (Kelly 1997, 409).

According to Devirt this is the only such structure in Ireland where it is known who built it and when (Devitt 1921, 427). Aedh Allen, one of the refugees and the son of the dead king, lived to take his father's place as king of Erin, and wrote a poem remembering the kindness afforded him at Lullymore:

"We did not find on earth a smoother place than Almhain; we did not reach, after this, a place more sacred than Lilcach" (Quoted in O'Donovan 1860, 44). 2605:A601:A700:7C00:4114:DB46:7DB5:1876 (talk) 00:53, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
