No remains of the holy tree marked on 6-inch map as 'Meenadugh Tree' that was associated with St Kieran of Clonmacnoise. According to the OS Field Name Books ' It is about 30 chains W.S.W. of the Seven Churches, on the S. side of the road to Shannon Bridge. It is an old tree, which the country people say has the power of curing certain diseases in any person who can grasp it.' (OSFNB 1837-40).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
