Muckross Abbey

Muckross Abbey is a ruined Franciscan friary in Killarney National Park near Killarney, founded in 1448 by Donal McCarthy Mór. Cromwellian troops removed its roof in 1652, but most walls survive, including the church, the tower and a cloister around a yew tree. The graveyard holds the graves of Kerry poets of the 17th and 18th centuries.
