John O'Donovan's Letters
- "Druim Lethain was formerly for many years a celebrated Monastery,
now it is only a Parish Church in the Diocese of Kilmore and County of Cavan on
the confines of both Breffnys and a noble burial place of the chief men of both
countries. Here was a Monastary until the year 1025, at which the Four Masters
record the death of Dubensius O'Forchelluigh (O'Farrelly) Abbot of
Druimlahan."
- "A.D. 1484. Died John O'Faircheallaigh, a canon of the family of
Drumlahan and Brian O'Faircheallaigh, a priest who had commenced the erection
of an anchorite's stone-cell at the Templemore of Drumlane." The O'Farrellys
and Mac Gaghrans were the hereditary Coarbs and Erenachs of the place, and are
still numerous in the Parish.
