St Kiarans monestary on the banks of the Shannon, date back from 540's AD. This is one of the best preserved abbey compounds in the Republic. Well worth a visit, The round tower is one of the oldest dating from the early 12th century. And there are many churches the smaller the older. St cieran is buried in teh 8 x 10 ft chapel shown above. In the 19th century it became fahionable to be buried here so the grounds are full of graves.
