Tullaherin Monastic Site
Map Reference: S591478 (2591, 1478)
The monastery at Tullaherin may have been founded by St Ciaran of Seir. The main remnant of the early foundation is the 22.5m high Round Tower. The doorway is now blocked and its original shape is not clear because many of the stones have been robbed from the tower.
The church was probably pre-Norman with a later added chancel. Beside it is a defaced Ogham stone.
