Description and History: Although this was part of a largely monastery, only the church remains. This is the largest of the ruins at the site and was built sometime between 1251 and 1272 and was controlled by the Augustinians. The remains consist of a nave and chancel and a large tower. The Western end with the large tower (a former priest’s quarters) dates to the 15th century and represents a phase of rebuilding. It was later used as a Protestant church until 1822. This is a very attractive ruin but remains locked and can only be viewed from the outside.
Difficulty: Easy to find but the graveyard is uneven underfoot.
Date of Visit: 24th April, 2010.
