St. Columb's House, Medieval church building in Kells, Ireland.
St. Columb's House features a rectangular design with thick stone walls and a high pointed roof measuring 1.5 meters above ground level.
The structure dates from the 10th century and contained a large flat stone called St. Columb's Bed, potentially used as a grave marker.
The building served as a place for monks to recite the Liturgy of the Hours and may have functioned as a shrine for religious relics.
The monument stands on Church Lane, northwest of Kells Abbey, and connects to other historical landmarks through walking paths in the area.
The structure contains three separate chambers in its loft space and historical records mention an underground passage linking it to the nearby church.
