This monastery was burnt down in 1154, and was rebuilt to create the final structure on the site.
[3][4] A charter for the construction of the final abbey was granted to Diarmait Mac Murchada by the Augustinians between 1160 and 1162.
Today, only a tower, a stretch of wall, and a small, ruined chamber survive.
[3] Excavations of the church carried out in 1910 revealed the foundations of several other elements of the abbey.
[6] The abbey was partially re-built by the owners in 1846, during which many of the original architectural details were damaged.
