Something wrong here, surely? St Kentigern aka Mungo
was a Briton not an Irishman (or even a Scot) and died
in about AD 612. He isn't known to have been in
Ireland, though he cd have met Irish women on his
travels around Brythonic Britain.
Or are we talking about the female St Kentigern who
lived on Loch Lomond?
Oh, yes, and I think it's St Fillan's Bell which still
exists somewhere: the classic early-medieval bell,
rectangular in form, which produces at least three
different tones from different walls of the rectangle.
