What is recorded here

This record refers to a church or convent which Tírechán (Book of Armagh) recounts was founded by St. Patrick for Mathona, sister of Bishop Senach of Aghagower. Its precise location is unknown but one tradition associates it with the remains of a small building (MA088-064----), called 'Templenafiacal', located c. 200m to NE of Aghagower graveyard (MA088-063002-).

St. Patrick is traditionally credited with founding the religious house for Mathona, sister of Bishop Senach of Aghagower, in the 5th century. The site's dedication and architectural style are not recorded, but it reflects early Christian monastic traditions in Ireland.
