Tuamgraney

County Clare

St Cronan (6C) founded a monastery here. The church is probably the oldest church in Ireland in terms of continuous use. There is a splendid lintelled doorway through which the High King of Ireland Brian Boru is said to have entered. The church was probably rebuilt in the 10C.
