Monasterboice


The Monasterboice is a cemetery in County Louth. You'll find gravestones here dating back hundreds of years, as well as newly laid graves.

The site also holds the remains of two churches, built in the 14th century or later. The crosses, which are very well preserved despite their age, show biblical scenes in their carvings. The crosses, dating back to the 10th century, are some of the most beautiful in the area.

Monasterboice is definitely worth the drive out to County Louth, be sure to take some time to see theses beautiful and historic pieces.
