What is recorded here
Price (1958, 359) refers to ‘Father Shearman suggested in 1874, and it seems quite possible, that Laragh may be identified with Láthruch Da Arad, where Iserninus is said to have founded a church’. If this church is within Laragh townland, the exact location is unknown.

The church in Laragh may have been founded by Iserninus in the early medieval period, possibly associated with the ancient name Láthruch Da Arad. Its significance lies in its potential early Christian dedication and historical connection to local ecclesiastical tradition.
