The Annals of Clonmacnoise (Irish: Annála Chluain Mhic Nóis) are an early 17th-century Early Modern English translation of a lost Irish chronicle, which covered events in Ireland from prehistory to 1408. The work is sometimes known as Mageoghagan's Book, after its translator Conall the Historian.[1] David Sellar, who was the Lord Lyon King of Arms in Scotland, concluded that it dates from 1627.[2] Robert Anthony Welch also stated that while it records history from the earliest times up to 1408, the original manuscript has been lost and it survives in an English translation that dates from 1627.[3]
