  • Saint Berach was born at Gort na Luachra in Cloone Conmaicne, living with this tuath for seven years. Plummer states that, in 1922, the townland contains "a mother-church and a cross, and the stone on which St. Berach was born".[4]
  • Saint Midabaria, sister of Berach, was also born at Gort na Luachra in Cloone Conmaicne.
