Go there and contact
Visit with a local historian to discover a monastery with church ruins and tombs from the 7th12th
In the 6th century, there was an important monastery, like Clonmacnoise or Glendalough, founded by Saint Caimin. Like all Irish monasteries, it suffered Viking attacks as early as the 9th century. But the Irish king Brian Boru had it rebuilt in the 10th century and it continued to prosper. Accompanied by a local historian, Gerard Madden, you will discover a round tower of 27 meters, very well preserved, the ruins of several churches, a hermit's cell, tombs of the 7th and 12th centuries, a sacred well... dive back into history!
