Kilmacduagh

Kilmacduagh, literally “church of Duagh’s son”, is a fascinating monastic site which dates back to the establishment of an abbey there in the seventh century. Consisting of several church ruins, a leaning round tower, and cemetery this special place is at once both haunting and serenely beautiful.

In the Church at Kilmacduagh: “Pray for the soul of James Mulane and his wife Sarah Laughnane, who made this tomb for them & their reposter 1709”.

The atmosphere at dusk is other-worldly, and seems to summon the memories of all those who have lived and died here since ancient times.

Blessed with an uncommonly perfect weather day, I had the pleasure and privilege of summiting Carrauntoohil, the centerpiece of the MacGillicuddy’s Reeks, and at 3,400 feet elevation, the highest peak in Ireland.
