[edit] Donagh High Cross visited by St. Patrick?
- It is the site of the famous Donagh Cross.
to
- It is the site of the Donagh Cross, which was said to have been visited by St. Patrick.
This is unfortunately not correct as the cross is from the 7th century or a later period and came therefore at least two centuries after St. Patrick. However, according to the Trias Thaumaturga by John Colgan, 1647, we know that Donagh is a foundation by St. Patrick for Bishop Mac Cairthen, brother of the bishop of Clogher. Hence, I took the freedom to correct the text in this regard. --AFBorchert 07:22, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
