Further research in Carlisle's "Topographical Dictionary of Ireland" reveals that, "Finish Island, off the Barony of Islands, Co Clare....is situated in the River Shannon where it receives the River Fergus. St Brigid, the daughter of Conchraid, of the family of Mactalius, presided over an abbey of nuns in the island of Inisfidhe, or Cluainfidhe,in the fifth century, in the time of St Senan."<br /><br />With Regards,<br /><br />Valentine Trodd<br />Author/HistorianValentine Troddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881654876252498732noreply@blogger.com
