Site Kildare.ie :
South of the castle, towards the Edenderry road, we light upon the old church and grave-yard of Temple Doath, or Caille, probably the site of the ancient church of St. Muadnat, Virgin, mentioned by Colgan, ( AA.SS., p. 339; Boyne and Blackwater ).The festival of this Saint, who lived in the 6th century, is set down in the Martyrology of Donegal, at the 6th of January. “ Muadhnat, Virgin. Caille is the name of her place, in Cairbre of Drum Cliabh.” Carbury of Drumcliff is in the county of Sligo, so, unless this entry be erroneous, Sir W.Wilde is mistaken in assigning Carbury, in county of Kildare, as the habitation of this Saint.
