Corcomroe Abbey Description

6.5mi/10km northeast pof Ballyvaughan, in a valley just off the N67, are the ruins of Corcomroe Abbey (National Monument), a Cistercian house founded in 1180. The church is well preserved (choir, nave, south aisle, transepts with chapels). The choir has figural carving, fine masonry, beautiful vaulting and simple but appealing tombs.
