For information on Ulysses Uncovered visit:
The photograph below is that of the east window in Kilmacduagh monastery in Gort, Co. Galway. This ancient monastery was founded by St. Colman, the son of Duagh - hence the name of the place - the church of the son of Duagh. The lands on which the monastery was built was given to St. Colman by King Guaire whose kingdom was located in Gort. The more exact name for Gort is Gort Inse Guaire.
Kilmacduagh is of great interest to the O'Shaughnessy clan because the ancient chieftains of this clan are buried within the cathedral itself.
