Church in Skreen More

Church

What is recorded here

The church of Skreen was founded in the 7th century by St Adamnan (d. 704) and got its name from the Latin word Scrinium, a shrine because in it was deposited his shrine (O'Rorke 1890. 400-1). The church was built on a site previously granted to Saint Columba (ibid). The Visitation Book of 1615 mentions that' the church and chancel were thatched' (ibid).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL019-007001
