Athracht was a sixth-century Irish abbess known for her dedication to charity and hospitality. Born in County Sligo, she sought a religious life despite opposition from her parents, eventually moving to south Connacht. She established her first foundation at Drum, where her brother Conal served as bishop, before later settling in the Coolavin area. Legend suggests she took her monastic vows under Saint Patrick. She is particularly remembered for founding a hostel at Killaraght near Lough Gara to support travelers and the homeless.
