Cloontuskert

County Roscommon |
A monastery was founded here in 8C by Betan (805).
Of the many slabs at this site one in particular carries a 7 branch
candlestick (menora). I have never found anyone refer to it. The
context of a Christian monastery suggests temple imagery for the
Kingdom was still remembered in these parts.
