Clonmacnoise was a famous early Christian monastery on the Shannon River
in County Offaly, near the center of Ireland. St. Kieran (or Ciaran) founded
the abbey in AD 548. This reconstruction shows MacCarthy's Roundtower which
is 56 ft. tall and one of two that are still standing today. By the 9th
century AD Clonmacnoise was a monastic city of great learning (Encyclopedia
Brittannica 1971,Vol. 5, pg. 939).
