St. Mogue established the original abbey on this site in the 6th century. Today, the ruins of later structures are visible.

Most notable are the Round Tower and the church, from medieval times. They contain some interesting carvings of birds, bishops, abbots, and kings, all adorning the door and window areas. Although the abbey originated in early Christian period, the Augustinians from Kells controlled it from the 13th or 14th century onward.
