Abbey Church, Clones

Abbey Church is constructed from finely cut blocks of sandstone, and a round headed window in the south wall indicates that the church can be dated to the middle of the 12th century. On the outer face of the north wall of the church is an unusual carving of a ringed cross. It is believed that the church was built for the Augustinian Order of Canons Regular around 1150.
