Oughaval (〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An Nuachabháil/Oughaval )〕), sometimes called Oakvale, is a townland in the civil parish of Stradbally, County Laois, in Ireland. It is the site of a sixth-century monastic settlement. ==Monastery== A monastery was founded at Oughaval in the late sixth century by St Colman mac Ua Laoighse, otherwise St Colman of Oughaval.〔 He was a disciple of St Columba of Iona and of St Fintan, abbot of Clonenagh,〔(Saint of the Day, May 15: ''Colman McO'Laoighse'' ) at ''SaintPatrickDC.org''. Retrieved 2012-03-04.〕 and in the ''Martyrology of Tallaght'' he appears as Colman mac h Laighsi, with a feast day on 15 May. After several years as a novice at Iona, Colman returned to Ireland and chose Oughaval as the site of a new monastic settlement. Exactly when this was founded is unknown, but it was a little before the repose of St Fintan in about 595. The foundation had ceased to function long before the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII.〔(Latin Saints of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Rome ) (see Colman Mc O'Laoighse May 15) at orthodoxengland.org.uk〕 The Book of Leinster was kept at Oughaval for many generations and was then known as ''Lebor na Nuachongbála'', or the Book of Oughaval.〔O Croinin, Daibhi, ''Prehistoric and Early Ireland'' (Oxford University Press, 2005, ISBN 978-0-19-821737-4), p. 546〕 In the early 18th century a 12th-century stone roofed church survived, and the Cosbys of Stradbally Hall added a mortuary-chancel to it.〔(Oughaval Oakvale ) at goireland.com〕 The site of the monastery can still be identified, and a burial ground there is still in use. However, there are now no remains of the original church or monastic building, as the stone from them was robbed out in the 18th century to build a mausoleum. In about 1994, the Russian Orthodox Church built a new church nearby, in the demesne of Stradbally Hall, dedicated to St Colman of Oughaval.〔(Draft Stradbally Town Plan, December 2007 ) at laois.ie〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oughaval, County Laois」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
