Inislounaght Abbey, Cistercian abbey ruins in Marlfield, Ireland

The former Inislounaght Abbey site contains stone fragments and remnants integrated into St Patrick's Church of Ireland, built in 1818 with a crenellated tower.

Founded in 1147 as a daughter house of Mellifont, the abbey maintained regional influence until its dissolution in 1540 during the Protestant Reformation.

The graveyard presents multiple carved stones from the 13th century, including chest tombs decorated with saints and Latin inscriptions from the O'Tunney school.

The location offers morning visits to examine medieval architectural elements and study grave markers dating from the 1700s to the 1800s.

A sandstone head of a woman, likely part of an effigial tomb, bears similarities to 14th-century sculptures found in County Kilkenny.
