Boyle Cistercian Abbey ruins and round tower

Boyle · town · Roscommon

A celebrated Cistercian abbey at Boyle retains extensive ruins showing its former magnificence, including a roofed chancel and side chapels, great arches 45-46 feet high, and carved capitals. The stump of a round tower stands near the abbey. The cloister area was long since converted into a barrack, and the abbey itself was converted into a place of defence, possibly during Queen Elizabeth's reign.
