History
Ardboe is the site of Ardboe Auld Cross and St. Colman's Monastry (Seanchrois Ard Bó agus Ministir Naomh Colmán). In the 6th century AD, the monastery was built by St. Colman (Colmán Mac Aed). The monastery was destroyed in 1166 by a subsequent Viking invasion. The plundering which followed destroyed the monastery, with almost all the monks known being killed. However, there are rumours that an underground cave network existed, which allowed movement from the site of the monastery to the Cave Hill area of Ardboe. Today, the High cross is the only remaining part of the monastery. The adjoining graveyard was the site of a tree, known locally as the Ardboe Pin Tree, into which people had traditionally put coins or pins, believing it to cure them of ailments. The tree was blown down during the St. Stephen's Day storms of 1998. The 6th century is the period from 501 - 600 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian Era. ...
