The gate, originally two storeys high, consists of two granite arches and is unique in Ireland. In the west arch, ie within the complex, a stone with a relief cross is attached. Expression of a welcome culture, if you had made it so far.

One of the two granite arches, craftsmanship from the very early days

You have to go through this gate if you want to get from the parking lot to the cemetery.

Nice part of the ruins and the whole complex is a very interesting location.

This early Christian monastic settlement was founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century and from here the 'Monastic City' developed.
