Limerick (now)
Parish church
The former Augustinian friary is now a Church of Ireland parish church. The font is the only possibly Romanesque feature.
Round tower
Round tower (20 m high) with round-headed doorway on E side. A plain round-headed window is set high up on the S side of the tower, a gabled window half-way up on the W side, and a flat-topped window high up on the N side. The tower is built of grey limestone (?). To the S of the tower is a small rectangular church, ruined, with some late Gothic details.
Early Monastic Church
Long rectangular church, with low, ivy-covered walls, and antae at the W end. The stump of a round tower remains to the W of the church. The W wall and antae are built from squared sandstone, similar to the remains of the round tower. There are two large triangular corbels above the N door.
