What is recorded here

Innisfallen is a wooded island in Lough Leane, County Kerry, where monks compiled the Annals of Innisfallen and preserved Irish history from 433 to 1450. The monastery founded around 640 AD later became an Augustinian priory before dissolution in 1582, leaving stone ruins from the 10th to 12th centuries amid undulating hills. Tradition credits Maelsuthain O'Carroll with teaching Brian Boru there, suggesting the lake itself took its name from the learning kept on this small, restless island.
