In a small cemetery adjacent to Ardagh village stands the almost demolished ruins of an old church, which may have been built by Saint Molua, who is the patron St. of my parish. This Saint is supposed to have lived somewhere in this church-yard for some time, and he is supposed to be buried here also.There is a well nearby, and judging from its situation, and from the cross that indicates it, It may be ascertained that it was a holy-well used by the Saint.
There is another Saint connected with the district, St. Rodane. The Saint founded a church in a grave-yard in Kilrodane, but it is now demolished. This townland is called after the St. and church combined.Told by Michael Ambrose.
