Ardfert Cathedral

Ardfert is the home of the Ardfert Cathedral and the birth place of St. Brendan the Navigator. The Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland, recount how in 1601, Prince Hugh Roe O'Donnell, on his way to the Battle of Kinsale, sent some of his kinsmen troops there to reconquer Ardfert, Lixnaw, and Ballykealy for his ally FitzMaurice. They captured Caislean Gearr (Short Castle, of which no trace remains), adjacent to the Cathedral in Ardfert. An O'Donnell remained behind to hold it, according to "The Life of Hugh Roe O'Donnell, Prince of Tyrconnell" written by Lughaidh O'Clery, circa 1603 in Gaelic. A large tomb in the grounds of the cathedral was built much later by John O'Donnell (1803-1879), the most prominent descendant two centuries later, and whose own direct male descendant was the late Patrick Denis O'Donnell (1922-2005), Lord Steward for Tyrconnell, and well-known Irish military historian.
