Which, translated, reads
Innreachtach, Bishop of Cill Mic Duach; Fearghus of Rath Luirigh, Abbot of Finnghlais;Cilleni, Abbot of Fearna; Duibhinsi, scribe of Cluain Mic Nois; Cumasgach, son of Cearnach, OEconomus of Ard Macha; and Ailbhe of Ceann Mhara, died.
Ailbhe was a cleric of the church of Coman of Kinvara, and his obituary demonstrates that a church was already in existence in Kinvara by the early 9th-century. The 11th-century text The Voyage of the Uí Chorra describes the destruction of the church, stating it was of the holy old man Coman of Kinvara.
Kinvara was situated within the territory of Uí Fiachrach Aidhne, and within a few hundred yards of the residence of King Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin of Connacht (now Dunguaire Castle). It is not known what connection Ailbhe may have had with the dynasty.
Year 814 (DCCCXIV) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Julian calendar, the 814th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 814th year of the 1st millennium, the 14th year of the 9th century, and the 5th year of the 810s decade.
Kinvara or Kinvarra is a sea port village in the southwest of County Galway, Ireland. It is located in the civil parish of Kinvarradoorus in the north of the barony of Kiltartan. Kinvarra is also an electoral division.

Clonmacnoise is a ruined monastery situated in County Offaly in Ireland on the River Shannon south of Athlone, founded in 544 by Saint Ciarán, a young man from Rathcroghan, County Roscommon. Until the 9th century it had close associations with the kings of Connacht.
Áed Allán was an 8th-century Irish king of Ailech and High King of Ireland. Áed Allán was the son of Fergal mac Máele Dúin and a member of the Cenél nEógain, a branch of the Northern Uí Néill.
Saint Féchín or Féichín, also known as Mo-Ecca, was a 7th-century Irish saint, chiefly remembered as the founder of the monastery at Fore (Fobar), County Westmeath.

The Cenél Conaill, or "kindred of Conall", are a branch of the Northern Uí Néill, who claim descent from Conall Gulban, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages, and allegedly the first Irish nobleman to convert to Christianity. Their kingdom was known as Tír Conaill, with their powerbase at Mag Ithe in the Finn valley, however they gradually expanded to cover what is now counties Donegal and Fermanagh. The Cenél Conaill clashed regularly with their kin the Cenél nEogain, eventually capturing the latter's original power-base of Ailech in the Inishowen peninsula—in modern-day County Donegal—by the 12th century.
