Labbamolaga - Church Ruins
The ruins of an old church, still standing, are shown in the townland of Labba Molaga, approximately 5 miles north-west of Mitchelstown. The place name 'Labbamolaga' comes from the Irish 'Leaba Molaga' which means the bed or grave of Saint Molaga. The slab shown at the south-east corner in the illustration is traditionally regarded as the site of the saint's bed. In the folklore of the area sleeping on or beneath the saint's bed was said to be a cure for rheumatism. (Image from: Irish Builder, Vol.14, 15 January 1872, p.25)
