  2. Local Ruins

    Share Share Post
    There are not many old ruins in my district. But there is one near my townland. It was once an old abbey, and it is very high. There is a big door half way up the building. It is said the monks called the franciscan monks taught in it long ago.
    It is a very interesting building, and it is of a great height. It is situated in the town of Cavan facing a very backward street. There is nothing left now, save the bare walls covered with ivy and moss.
