Ullard Church, Medieval church and national monument in County Kilkenny, Ireland.
The granite church contains a Romanesque doorway with three orders, decorated heads, and patterns, alongside a high cross measuring 4 meters tall.
The site originated as a monastery in the 7th century, followed by construction of a high cross in the 9th century and stone church in the 12th century.
The high cross displays religious scenes including the Crucifixion, Adam and Eve, David with his harp, and the Binding of Isaac.
The church stands 700 meters west of River Barrow, with two bullaun stones under trees and St Fiacre's holy well located in the northern field.
A Gaelic handball alley was constructed around 1900 using one of the church walls, representing a common practice at medieval sites in southeastern Ireland.
