Devenish Monastic Site
 This
site contains the substantial remains of Lough Erne's most important
island monastery. St Molaise founded it in the 6th century on an
historic pilgrim route to Croagh Patrick. It later became an Augustine
Priory of St Mary. The remains include a Romanesque church and a
12th century round tower, crosses and the Priory Church. Visitors
can climb the islands most striking feature, the perfect round tower,
which is 30 metres tall.
There
is much to be admired in the architecture of the churches with their
beautifully carved intricate details. There is also a museum which
contains sculpture from the churches.
