A focal point of the northern midlands where the provinces of Leinster, Ulster and Connaught all converge, Longford, where history and literature, tragedy and triumph are all woven together, takes its name from the ancient stronghold of the O'Farrell family (Long Fort - Fort of the O'Farrells). Bordered to the West by the majestic River Shannon, Longford is a county of rolling plains and picturesque stretches of water. The highest pint of the county, Cairn Hill, is only 279 m high, but from atop the summit glorious views in all directions are afforded.

Description
Description
During the early Christian era, St. Diarmuid, tutor of St. Ciaran of Clonmacnois, founded a monastery on Inchleraun. Extensive ruins of six churches survive, the remains of greatest antiquity being those of the church named after the founding saint. The site was plundered extensively by the armies of Munster during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. To this day numerous notable examples of early Christian graveslabs remain intact on the island despite recent attempts by thieves to remove them.
