St Mochuda and the Fort in Our Field (continued)
“My grandfather told us that there is a fort in our field by the banks of the River Maine.”
(continued from previous page)in praise of the Lord, and that he would prefer to be with him. The chief then let him go away and he joined the monks.
Some people say he built the monastery of Ardcrone the ruins of which still are to be seen.
Mochuda performed many great miracles, he cured the king of Munster from blindness and he was also deaf and dumb. Mochuda made prayers to God for him and put the sign of the Holy Cross on his eyes, ears and mouth and the king was cured of all his distress and trouble
