On the site of a monastery in Timoleague Co. Cork, founded by St. Molaga, there is a small primitive-looking church with a flat headed doorway made of 3 stones. Near the south wall of the church is a stone with a spiral volute which is said to mark the tomb of St Molaga. This tomb is called Leaba Mholaga. It is said that if someone with rheumatism sleeps under this slab they will be cured.

According to legend, St. Molaga, a much-travelled disciple of David of Wales and a noted bee-keeper, was unable to find a suitable site on which to build a church . Eventually, he placed a candle on a sheaf of wheat and let it float down the Argidin River. The sheaf of wheat was carried ashore at present day Timoleague, marking the place he was to found his church

The sculpture below is found today in Timoleague village. The sculpture, Tigh Molaga or The House Of Molaga, was created by Alex Pentek, a Cork born artist. It is carved from a large piece of oak. The artist has deliberately adopted a simple style of carving so as to highlight the three motifs incorporated into the work: the candle, with its boldly carved flames, set on a sheaf of wheat, which in turn is carried on the crest of a wave, symbolised by three carved scrolls.
