Built on top of the site of St Fachnan's 6th century monastery that was built in 1058, the roofed part of the cathedral is used for occasional Church of Ireland services. Its exceptional acoustics have also made it an excellent venue for periodic concerts.
A new steel and glass roof was erected in 2004 to protect some of the cathedral's chancel and fine stone carvings.
Various of the famous 'seven crosses' can be seen in and around the cathedral and its graveyard, notably the Doorty Cross. Particularly significant among the graves is that of Kitty Linnane, where each St. Patrick's Day local musicians gather to play tunes in tribute to the Kilfenora Céilí Band's famous band leader.
By local tradition, the Pope is regarded as the bishop of Kilfenora in perpetuity. This reflects a degree of disagreement with the decision some centuries ago to merge the Kilfenora diocese -- at 13 parishes the smallest in Ireland -- with another bishopric (currently Galway & Kilmacduagh).
