    The greater part of the history relating to the ancient Cistercian Abbey at Abbeydorney is tradition.

    (continued from previous page)
    the Cistercian abbey.
    All that now remains of what was once a lordly monastery is now a weather beaten ruin, which is also the local burying ground. The days of its glory and power are gone, but, like an echo from the glorious past, there still hovers round it with protecting wings a halo of sanctity.
