You're most welcome, Jaycee! Glendalouch was a monastic community from the very beginning of Christianity in Ireland. I visited it in my trip to Ireland in 1970 - the ruins date from the mid first millennium through the Medieval Period. There are, of course, older ruins there- a ring-fort from the first century A.D., among others.

It id a beautiful and most contemplative valley. I would like to visit one more time before I die - there are many precious spots in Ireland.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
