Cathedral (ruin) The monastic site at Ardmore is situated on a hillside overlooking Ardmore Bay. Structures associated with the monastery on the site are St Declan’s ‘House’, a small, single cell structure with antae, now much restored; the 12thc. round tower; and the cathedral. The cathedral comprises nave (22.1 m x 7.95 m internally) and chancel (10.6 m x 5.8 m internally) and represents at least four different phases of building. Romanesque work surviving in the building includes the N doorway; five windows in the nave; string courses and blind arcades in the nave; the chancel arch; and most famously, the figurative friezes set in the western gable.
