In pasture. The Martyrology of Donegal refers, 'Bairfionn, son of Aedh, of Achadh-Cailltean in the Uí Drona, west of the Berbha, in Uí Reithe, to the south of Leithglinn' (Grattan Bellew 1961, 67). This is an early medieval monastic foundation. According to Grattan Bellew (ibid.), there is, 'a well near the ruins which is reputed never to go dry'.
