This has a chamfered label on the exterior and a tall rear arch on the interior. Three courses of the E jamb of a doorway survive in the N wall of the nave. A large, shaped block, possibly an arcuated lintel, has been reset in the S wall to the E of the S doorway. The incomplete round tower ( h. 15.85 m) has a plain, round-headed doorway about 2.00 m above ground level. There is later doorway with a flat lintel at the base of the tower. No sculpture.

Abbey Church A large cruciform, aisleless early 13thc. church standing next to the abbey ruins (W wall of nave to E wall of chancel 40.23m, w. across transepts 22.86 m). The rebuilt chapter house and sacristy survive and are also early 13thc. while the remains of the cloister and domestic buildings are mainly 15thc. The church has a vaulted chancel with a chamber above and two barrel-vaulted chapels in each transept, the inner round-headed and the outer pointed and rather taller. The sacristy adjoins the south transept and abuts onto a small chamber, accessible from the cloister walk. The chapter house is attached to the sacristy. A 17thc. chapel adjoins the chancel on the S. The nave was rebuilt in 1270. Plain round-headed doorways are found in the N wall of the N transept and N and S side of nave (all reconstructed in 1965-6). The plain sacristy doorway and the doorway to the storeroom in the E cloister range are original. This doorway is round-headed and of three plain chamfered orders, the first order with a tympanum and the others continuous. There are plain round-headed windows at clerestorey level (one on S two on N); one in the E wall of each transept chapel, with a small rectangular window above; and two, one above the other, over the triple window on the E face, the upper being rectangular. There are a number of narrow round-headed windows to the chapter house, some reconstructed. Romanesque sculpture is found on the corbels of the crossing, the chancel vaulting and E window, the W door of the chapter house, a reset corbel and a mortar (used as a font).

Abbey ruins The church comprises a chancel (w. c.8.00 m ), mainly 13thc. and an aisleless 15thc. nave. Of the original conventual buildings the sacristy, adjoining chamber and the W wall of the E range survive. There is a sealed chamber on the far S of the E range which is also 13thc. Part of the original 13thc. cloister arcading survives, but most is a replacement of c.1860 from a restoration led by Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness. Most other surviving features are 15thc. or later.

Abbey Church (ruin) A mainly early 13thc. church, on the shores of Lough Mask, T-plan, now in ruins, with nave, chancel and N and S chambers accessible from the chancel. (nave w. 6.4 m x l. 12.49 m; chancel w. 4.65 m x l. 6.02 m) The chambers were added after the first building campaign. (S chamber w. 3.86 m x l. 5.03 m, N chamber w. 3.81 m x l. 5.03 m) . A further small chamber (w. 1.35 m) is attached to the W wall of the S chamber and the S wall of the nave. There is a doorway in the N wall of the nave, plain with inclined jambs and a massive lintel. There are also a number of large ashlar blocks in the N wall of the nave, and two arcuated lintels (reset in the exterior S wall of the nave and interior S wall of the N transept). These and the doorway may provide evidence for an earlier structure. 13thc. sculpture survives on the chancel arch, on the double window on the gabled E wall of the chancel, and on the L label stop of a window in the S wall of the nave (only part of the masonry of the window survives). There is a plain window, with arcuated lintel, on the E wall of the N transept, which also has a gabled N wall.

Church (ruin) and round tower A small cruciform church, now mainly 17thc-18thc. with some earlier features including a Crucifixion plaque of 1625. The church comprises nave, shallow, apsidal chancel and N and S transepts. There is a round tower (h. 22.86 m) to the SW of the S transept, barely a few feet away. This is probably 12thc. and has a blocked round-headed doorway several metres above ground level and a later doorway, also blocked, at the base of the tower. There are two triangular-headed windows at the top of the tower, and some square-headed windows below. The only Romanesque sculpture is found on a loose fragment locked in the S transept.
