Athassel Priory, Augustinian priory ruins in Golden, County Tipperary, Ireland.
The limestone walls and arches of this medieval complex spread across 4 acres along the banks of the River Suir near Golden.
William de Burgo established this religious settlement in 1192, which became Ireland's largest medieval priory before its dissolution in 1537.
The priory features Gothic architectural elements, including lancet windows and carved stone details made from imported Somerset Dundry stone.
Visitors can access the ruins through a bridge and gate lodge, with limited parking available at the top of the access lane.
The monastery contained water-powered mills and fish ponds, utilizing a channel system connected to the River Suir for daily operations.
