Life
Saint Sciath of Fert Sceithe is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland as a virgin.
The Donegal text places Fert-Sceithe in Muscraighe of the Three Plains, in Munster. She was of the race of Conaire, monarch of Erinn, and her mother was Eithne, daughter of Concraidh.
The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates her on 6 September. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
Nothing else about her is preserved in the sources consulted.
