St. Michael's Priory, Ballinskelligs

County Kerry, Ireland

Ballinskelligs Abbey (Irish: Prioreacht Bhaile an Sceilg) was an Augustinian priory, (also known as the Priory of the Arroasian Canons of the Order of St Augustine). It is located on the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The medieval priory, built in the 12 and 13th centuries, was established as a mainland priory for the monks of Skellig Michael who were abandoning the island due to adverse weather conditions. The ruined medieval site originally consisted of church, cloister, Prior's house, refectory, and burial ground.
