It was in the fifth century that Uisneach was visited by St. Patrick, intent on establishing a church on this most sacred of sites. He was opposed in his mission by the O’Neill clan but he did manage to put a curse on the stones of Uisneach. They have not been of any use for heating, washing or building since. He established a permanent presence here with ‘St. Patrick’s Bed’, his place of worship and resting place constructed over ancient cairns. It is said that St. Brigid received the veil from St. Patrick on the hill, and Patrick also had a well named in his honour.
