- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)from the Puritan Iconcolasts of Cromwells iron time, and so it remains as the generations pass - "a thing of beauty and a joy for ever". The vast forest by which it was surrounded is now an equally vast bog. In winter the River Shannon (about a mile distant) overflowed it's banks which were low and sedgy, converting all it's surrounding fields into one big field, so that the Cluain itself became an island.It has been found that the "choir" is the same age as the famous doorway. Fruitless attempts have been made to decipher the inscription at the Nunnery. The design of the noted East-window is beautiful and effective, and one can scarcely believe that such delicate work was wrought by tools. It is believed that St. Brendan's grave is in a field which marked the site of the old monastery. He died in Annaghdown at his sister's nunnery and expressed the wish to be buried in his beloved Clonfert.
