Dromiskin Monastery: Repeatedly Pillaged During The Middle Ages - County Louth, Ireland

Dromiskin Monastery is a medieval monastery and National Monument located in Dromiskin, County Louth in Ireland. Dromiskin Monastery has the distinction of being repeatedly pillaged. Dromiskin was burned by Vikings in 833 (Annals of Ulster). The Uí Chrítáin were hereditary clergy at Dromiskin and it was pillaged by Domnall ua Néill in 970.[3] The monastery was plundered by Irish in 908, Vikings in 978 and Irish again in 1043. Dromiskin is said to have been founded by Lugaid (d. 515/516), a follower of Saint Patrick and son of Óengus mac Nad Froích, King of Munster, in the 6th century; or by Rónán, son of Bearach in the 7th century. Rónán died in 664 of buide-connaill ("yellow plague," an epidemic illness in ancient Ireland). The site’s 15.25 meter, 50-foot, round tower was constructed in the 9th century. The tower has a conical cap or roof, and a two-order Romanesque doorway 3.7 m (12 ft) above ground. The upper portion was rebuilt around the 12th century and used as a bell tower, and remained in use until the 19th century. The gable and foundation of a 12th century church with 15th century window remain at Dromiskin. The more recent and intact ruins on the site are those of a 19th century Protestant church, St. Margaret’s Chapel. The arms of a high cross (10th century AD) are mounted on a modern shaft (1918). Some accounts associate it with Áed Findliath (High King of Ireland 862–879). One panel is believed to show David presenting Goliath's head to Saul. Also carved on it are dragons and a crucifixion. Dromiskin Monastery is located in the center of Dromiskin village, halfway between the River Fane and River Glyde and 1.5 km (0.93 mi) west of the Irish Sea coast.
