About
Come and explore the history of this 12th century Augustinian priory which is closely associated with the O'Cahan's, who by the late Middle Ages, appear to have had a castle built on the site.
Replacing an earlier church, this 12th century Augustinian priory is closely associated with the O'Cahan's, who by the late Middle Ages, appear to have had a castle built on the site. Within the chancel of the church, is a 15th-century tomb of Cooey-na-Gall O'Cahan, an O'Cahan chief, who died in 1385.
The gallowglasses, Scottish mercenaries, carved on the tomb, suggest that it may have been carved by a western Scottish craftsman.
This unstaffed site can be explored at your own pace, with interpretation panels available; please note that facilities and access may be limited.
