"LSO: “There are two townlands in the Parish called Donaghmore (Domhnach Mór) and Donaghbeg (Domnach Beag) which name might be supposed to have been retained from a Church built by St. Patrick in Moysleacht (Plain of Adoration) after destroying the Idol called Cromcruach, together with much more collateral aid derived from places already found which are set down as being contiguous to this Moysleacht, would confirm the investigator without the smallest doubt as to where the plain lay, even though the name (Magh Sleachta) does not now exist, yea, not even in the wide regions of tradition.” (132:261) "
