The Cathedral of Armagh (Bed and Breakfasts, Armagh, Ireland) (Ard-Macha, Machas height) is the first church here erected. It was founded and given its pre-eminent position by St Patrick and is a small and almost entirely modern building. It was restored about 1840 by Archbishop Beresford, when the few remains of ancient building, which had till then escaped, were obliterated. It occupies a delightful site on the summit of a hill overlooking the town.
The body of King Brian Boraimhe; the victor of Clontarf (county Dublin), was brought to Armagh (Hotels, Armagh, Ireland) after the battle and buried within the cathedral.
