What is recorded here

Ono, a Druid and one of two brothers who owned this territory sought gold from St. Patrick for the site of a church. For this offence the saint said that none of the Cinel Mac Earca would rule the Connachta but would always be allies of their kings. A contrite Ono offered his own fort to the saint (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 2, 2-5). It was probably on the site of Elphin Cathedral (RO016-127001-), but there is no trace of it now.

A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath) associated with early-medieval druidic tradition and Christian conversion, likely dating to the 5th–7th centuries. It is linked to folklore involving Ono, a druid brother who, according to tradition, sought to obstruct St. Patrick’s church-building efforts, leading to a prophecy that the Cinel Mac Earca would not rule Connacht.
