These hilltop ruins consist of a former Franciscan Monastery and an early 16th century tower house. The monastery was dissolved in around 1540 by Henry VIII. The present ruins include the medieval church with a well preserved early gothic tower situated inside the walled enclosure, and the Franciscan College Ruins built on the site of the early monastery established by St Erc.
