Dominican Priory, Lorrha

Map Reference: M916044 (1916, 2044)

This tiny village has remains of three churches, two High Crosses and a motte. The Dominican priory was founded in 1269. The nave and chancel of the church are of equal width giving the appearance of a very long building. The five-light east window is fragmentary and there are good lancet windows in the N and S walls.



There is a fine north doorway and a mutilated west doorway. Outside the Catholic church beside the ruin is a very good bullaun stone.
