    the horse's hoofs are stuck to the rocks. The footprints of the hoofs of the horses are still to be seen there.
    And ever after the road from Guaire's palace to the holy hermit's cave is known as "bóthar na Mias"- "The Road of the Dishes"
    (Patrick Neilan, Glenbrack, Gort).

  2. St. Colman Bishop
    Guaire begged the holy man to found a church, and offered him a site for that purpose in his territory.
    The site chosen was Kilmacduagh, about three miles distant from his birthplace at Corker.
    Soon a monastry grew around the Church. St Colman was the first Bishop of Kilmacduagh.
    He died on the 29th October, and he is buried in Kilmacduagh, a short distance west of the Cathederal.
