Description
Kinneigh Round Tower and St. Batholomew's church in County Cork. From an article in 2000 by Sam Kingston in the Southern Star: "The monastery at Kinneigh was founded by St. Mocholmóg in the year 619, according to the 'Annals of Cork'. It was situated about half a mile west of the present site of the Round Tower. Very little of its history is known and only a fragment of the walls of the old building remains. But the wall or fence that surrounded the monastery grounds, enclosing about 16 acres, still exists and the Castle Rock was within the monastery grounds. Within the grounds was an old cemetery and another part of the grounds was known as the "Abhalgort" or Orchard."
