   Donore, is an ancient friary, where mass used to be celebrated, when the priests were not allowed to say mass in the churches. A great seat of learning, being so near the ancient school of Clonard, where St Fenian taught. Close by a ruined castle, stands on the bank of the Boyne, which dates back to the fifth, or sixth century
