Athassel Priory


Sender: Alienne
'P' is for 'Priory'!

Athassel Priory is a ruined monastic site in County Tipperary, Ireland founded in the 12th century. Although it is in ruins, many details from the original medieval priory that once stood here still remain. The church entrance is a beautifully carved doorway at its west end, while to the south of the church is the cloister, its graceful arches eroded by time.
