  2. The Old Abbey

    Share Share Post
    There was an old monastery at the old abbey long ago near the Dominican church built by Saint Patrick. When the Danes came to Ireland they were supposed to have burned it down St Patrick had many monks in it. The remains of it are still to be seen and that is a good many years ago.
