Kilree Monastic Site

Map Reference: S496412 (2496, 1412)

The Round Tower at Kilree is about 29m high and has a good round-headed doorway.



It stands beside the ruin of a large church with antae at the W end. There are indications that there were also antae at the E end where a later extension was built.



There is a lintelled W doorway.



In the field to the west of the church is a very fine High Cross. It has five bosses on the west face and one boss on the east face.





The cross is covered with spirals and other ornamentation. There is some figure carving but it is very faint.
