Village in southern County Carlow on the River Barrow. The locality acquired its name from St. Moling, a 7th century cleric, prince, poet, artist and artisan, who built a monastery here. The original monastery was plundered by the Vikings in 951AD and was again burned in 1138. All that remains are the ruins.
