Lahardane, also sometimes spelled Lahardaun (Irish: Leathardán, meaning "Half on Hill"),[1] is a village in the parish of Addergoole, County Mayo, Ireland, adjacent to Lough Conn and to Nephin, and close to the towns of Crossmolina, Castlebar and Ballina.

[4] After the uprising was put down, Fr Conroy was hanged on the Mall in Castlebar, and is most likely buried in the old abbey in Addergoole cemetery.

The cross was erected in 1937 by Michéal Ó Tiomanaidhe,[5] the Gaelic scholar, writer and folklore collector who was born in Addergoole parish on 20 September 1853.

[7] Addergoole parish suffered the largest proportionate loss for any locality probably in the world when the RMS Titanic sank in 1912.

It was a traditional harvest festival, as was practised in the West of Ireland at the time, and it was always held on 15 August, a feast day and religious holiday.
