There's a new resource available here: celtichagiography.org/bibliography/ It is a running bibliography of publications focused on the saints in Ireland, Scotland, Man, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, and 'Celtic' saints on the continent. While a work in progress, currently there are 500 publications
Bibliography – The Celtic Hagiography Network
This bibliography can be sorted or searched by year, author, type of publication, subject, or saint’s name. Entries populate by the most recent year of publication, and if a publication is available online (open access or otherwise) it is linked below. Let us know of new publications (or missing publications) here.

Recently I published this article in Breifne so I went to visit Rahan Castle (McSwyne’s castle) and Ballysaggart Friary (sadly inaccessible) to actually see them in person 😅

I made a Celtic Studies starter pack, for anyone interested! I’m sure it’s not complete but it’s a start. If you want to be added (or removed!) let me know.
