Single-aisled church and monastic buildings with cloister. In the S wall of the nave are a plain round-headed doorway with a single square order and a window with two plain chamfered orders externally. The church has no Romanesque sculpture.
Founded before 1189 by Domnall Mor O'Brien; given to Augustinian Canons and possessions confirmed in 1189. Officially suppressed c.1543, but may have continued for a short period (Gwynn & Hadcock 1970, 162).
Some parts of the church including the S doorway and S window of nave probably date from the late 12thc. Otherwise the work is largely 15thc.
