Samhradhán

Samhradhán lived in Moneensauran townland, Glangevlin, County Cavan. The townland is named after him (from Irish Moinín Samhradhain, meaning 'Samhradhán's little bog').^[4] There are three medieval ringforts in the townland, one of which was probably his residence.^[5] It is thus the cradle of the McGovern clan, where the first McGovern was born, Muireadhach MágSamhradhán.

His son was Muireadhach Mág Samhradhán who ruled from c.1115-c.1148 (i.e. he was the first chief to bear the name Mág Samhradháin or McGovern).^{[citation needed]}
