Connell (barony)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Connell derives its name from Old Connell (Irish Seancongbhail/Seanchonail, "old settlement"), a site in modern Newbridge where Saint Conleth lived as a hermit until his consecration in AD 490. Later it was the site of Connell Ford, a crossing point on the Liffey, and Great Connell Priory was built on the east bank in 1202.[3]
Location
Connell barony is found in central County Kildare, from the bend of the Liffey to the Hill of Allen.
