Ross Carbery Monastery
Since the sixth century there was a monastery in Ross Carbery ( Irish Ros Ó gCairbre , older also Ros Ailithir ) in County Cork , Ireland , which housed an important monastery school. It was founded by St. Fachtna (or Fachanan , Mac Mongach , † 600). According to legend, Brendan the Traveler also taught there . This monastery was desolate by 1127 at the latest.
At an unknown time, a Benedictine Marian monastery was founded again. Unconfirmed statements from older research put this foundation in the year 1280 or around 1150. The new foundation probably came from one of the continental Scots monasteries . By the 14th century at the latest, there was a Benedictine priory in Ross Carbery, which was subordinate to the Würzburg Schottenkloster St. Jakob . In the second half of the 15th century or the 16th century, monastic life came to a standstill. Small remains of the church have been preserved.
