The monastery at Druncliffe. The stump of the round tower and the high cross (on the other side of the road) are all that remains of an abbey.
Around 560 AD Columkille or Columba founded a monastery by the Drumcliffe river on the ancient way between Sligo and Donegal, on the bank of the Drumcliffe river. There was no town at Sligo at that time. The Christian foundation at Drumcliffe is one of about 30 monasteries founded by Columbkille.
