The civil parish of Kilmacrehy on the west coast of County Clare is named after him. Family Mac Creiche is said to have lived in the late 6th century and to have been descended from the god Ercc, the Corcu MoDruad chieftain Mac Ercc. According to his biography, the Corcu MoDruad was the leading sept of the ''Tuadmumu'' region of northern County Clare, which included the Corcomroe and Burren baronies, and was paramount over the neighboring people of Cenél Fermaic. His homeland "Corcu Mruad in Nindois" also included the Aran Islands. One source says Mac Creiche's father was Pesslan (not an Irish name) and his mother was from the Cí ...
