National monument No. 171. Cistercian Abbey described by Stalley (1987), as following: 'The rather dour ruins of Monasteranenagh lie in flat countryside beside the River Camoge, two and a half miles east of Croom and ten and a half miles south of Limerick. The monastery was founded in 1148 by Turlough O'Brien, king of Thomond, as a daughter house of Mellifont. It subsequently established three daughter houses of its own in Munster (Abbeydorney 1154, Midleton 1180 and Holycross 1180). With its O'Brien patrons, the monastery was the focus of resistance to Anglo-Norman influence and it played a major role in the conspiracy of Mellifont, having 'drunk from the chalice of Babylon' in the words of Stephen of Lexington. In 1228 the community attempted to thwart Stephen's visitation by turning the abbey buildings into a minor fortress. Later in the century the monastery fell heavily into debt, owing £209.6.8 to the Ricardi of Lucca in 1302. It was suppressed in 1539—40, but some form of religious life may have survived until 1580, when the abbey was the scene of a battle during the Desmond rebellion. The tale of forty monks being massacred after the battle by the victorious soldiers of Sir Nicholas Malby is not supported by reliable evidence. The ruins consist principally of the church (C. 1170—1220) and early Gothic chapter house. The church was planned on a grand scale with three chapels opening off each transept, but these have been almost completely destroyed. Fragments of one chapel in the north transept show it to have had groin or rib vaults, as well as fancy arch mouldings. The square presbytery, lit by three inserted Gothic lancets, was covered by a pointed barrel vault which fell in 1874. The aisled nave has four plain arches on each side, then a long section of blank wall. The general austerity of the church is alleviated by a number of crisp foliage capitals. The building was subject to at least one major change of design, involving the enlargement of the western crossing piers, and its precise chronology is difficult to determine. At a late date it was drastically reduced in size, the transept arches blocked and a new west wall inserted after the second bay of the nave. In the later middle ages, possibly after the dissolution, a barrel vault was erected over the south transept, as part of a fortified tower. Either this or a crossing tower fell in 1807, soon after which the outbuildings were demolished by a Mr White of Manister, who used the materials for stables and yards. The layout of the cloister and conventual buildings are clearly visible in aerial photographs. West of the church lie the remains of a rectangular structure, the nature of which is unknown'. (OSL 1840, 114-21; Westropp 1889, 232-8; Power 1930 43-6; Leask 1960, 35-8; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 141). The abbey was described by Harbison (1970, 156) as following; 'Founded by Turlough O'Brien, King of Limerick, between 1148 and 1151 for the Cistercians who colonized it from Mellifont. The buildings were possibly completed during the reign of Domhnall Mor O'Brien (1170-94). The remains of the long high church are reasonably well preserved, though the east and west windows have suffered much damage. One of the delights of the church are the well-preserved foliate capitals, particularly at the crossing, which, because they were almost blocked up for a long time, have retained much of the freshness which they had when first cut in the warm red sandstone. The screen which divided the church into two parts was possibly built in the 15th century. The Abbot of the monastery was a Lord of Parliament. In the first half of the 13th century the abbots were involved in a number of lawsuits, one involving an abbot who had sold land belonging to the monastery, another about the succession of abbots. In 1365 a great battle took place under the walls of the Abbey when Brian O'Brien and the Macnamaras combined to defeat the King of Thomond. The vanquished took refuge in the monastery, but the victors invaded it and demanded a large ransom. The monastery was dissolved in 1541, and in 1579, after it had been granted to George More, it witnessed another great battle. This time Sir Nicholas Malby, for the English, routed Sir John of Desmond and afterwards turned his cannon on the Abbey where some of the Irish had gone for shelter. As a result the cloister and the refectory were practically destroyed, and the whole of the surviving monastic community was put to the sword. It changed hands a number of times before Elizabeth Norreys was granted it in 1603. The belfry fell in 1807, and in 1874 the chancel vault collapsed, bringing with it much of the fine east window'.

Battle of Monasternenagh, 1370 - summary by Dr Gavin Hughes. Uploaded 22/02/2021 Olive Alcock This engagement occurred against the backdrop of decreasing Anglo-Norman control and authority over its English lordships and it was fought between Gerald FitzMaurice FitzGerald, 3rd earl of Desmond and Brian Ó Briain, king of Thomond. The annalistic evidence for the battle, although lacking in detail, is found in the Annals of Connacht (Freeman 1944, 337-9), the Annals of Ulster (Mac Carthy 1893, vol. 2, 537-9, 541), the Annals of Loch Cé (Murphy 1871, vol. 2, 43), the Chartularies of St. Mary’s Abbey, Dublin (Gilbert 1884, 2, 397), the Cistercian establishments in Ireland (Gilbert 1884, 2, 235) and the Annales Hiberniae (Grace 1842, 155-7). Throughout the fourteenth century, the Anglo-Irish lordship in Ireland faced serious pressures as a result of the Bruce invasion (1315-18), a disastrous famine and the arrival of the 'Black Death' in 1349. Although it affected the Gaelic lordships as well, the plague was particularly devastating for the Anglo-Norman Irish towns. The downward trajectory continued and the strength of the Gaelic lordships began to return. In 1369, a newly appointed justiciar, William of Windsor, was determined to re-stamp English authority on an increasingly defiant Gaelic Irish population. Initially tackling Leinster, the Justiciar imprisoned and subsequently beheaded one of the main agitators, Diarmait Mac Murchadha Caomhánach but, at the same time, a revolt exploded in Munster. At the monastery of Monasternenagh (LI031-050004-), Clann Chuiléin or the Mac Con Maras had joined forces with the Ó Briains of Thomond against the 3rd earl of Desmond and were led by Brian Ó Briain, the recently installed king of Thomond. His immediate subordinate commander was Síoda Óg, son of the chief of Clann Chuiléin (Mac Carthy 1893, vol. 2, 537-9, 541). Whilst evidence for the scale of Thomond's army is negligible, it can be ascertained that, as its king, his military forces were significant and would have comprised mounted troops, infantry and kern. Although it does not seem to be recorded, it is likely that his army had a personal household contingent of gallowglass. Against this army, the English provincial forces were commanded by the earl of Desmond, Gerald FitzMaurice FitzGerald, supported by Sir John Nicholas and Sir Thomas FitzJohn (Grace 1842, 155-7). Fitzgerald's army would also have been of considerable size, formed of knights, mounted and dismounted men-at-arms, mounted archers, foot soldiers and kern. The Anglo-Irish annals and Gaelic Irish annals are at variance regarding the date of the battle. The latter (Murphy 1871, vol. 2, 43; Mac Carthy 1893, vol. 2, 537-9, 541; Freeman 1944, 337-9) maintain it was fought in 1369 but it is thought that the Anglo-Irish sources (Grace 1842, 155-7; Gilbert 1884, vol. 2, 235) are more accurate in stating that it occurred on 10 July 1370. Similarly, none of the contemporary accounts provide an exact location (save for the site of the Cistercian house at Monasternenagh) or details regarding the conduct of the battle. As such, this battlefield remains unlocated. The Annals of Connacht (Freeman 1944, 337-9) note that it was a 'great battle' in which Ó Briain defeated the 'Munster Galls' and captured the earl of Desmond. The Irish annals provide little evidence for the battle's casualty rate, which may indicate that the Gaelic Irish of Thomond had relatively few noble dead. As for the soldiery on either side, estimates of dead cannot be made. In the wake of his victory, Ó Briain moved his army seven miles to Limerick city (LI005-017----), which he razed and sacked. Following this, he extracted hostages and, according to the Annals of Ulster (Mac Carthy 1893, vol. 2, 541), Síoda Óg Mac Con Mara was made Ó Briain's warden of the city. The news of the Monasternenagh defeat forced William of Windsor to halt his Leinster campaign and move immediately to counter Ó Briain's threat. It is thought that the three barons named in the Annales Hiberniae (Grace 1842, 155-7), Sir Robert Tirrell (Castleknock), Sir Simon Fleming (Slane), Sir John Cusack (Culmullen) and the former Mayor of Dublin, John Tailor, were killed in William's subsequent Munster campaign. Indeed, William of Windsor forced the English magnates of the Pale to accompany him to Munster and fined them heavily if they went back home. This, combined with a general wastage of resources, ongoing warfare and plague, resulted in his removal from office in 1372. As a footnote, for Síoda Óg Mac Con Mara, his wardenship of Limerick was also short lived, as the Annals of Ulster (Mac Carthy 1893, vol. 2, 541) stated, he was soon 'betrayed' by the townsfolk and killed.

On a slightly raised area in pasture, 290m E of the 12th century Cistercian abbey of Monasteranenagh (LI031-050004-) and 200m W of the Camoge River. Abbey Ville House and walled garden 400m to SW. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a tree-covered polygonal-shaped earthwork intersected at S by a field boundary running E-W. Not depicted as an antiquity on this OSi map but as a tree-covered plantation possibly associated with landscaping works of Abbey Ville. The OSi 25-inch map shows a roughly circular-shaped area (dims. c. 28m NE-SW, 22m NW-SE) enclosed by a field boundary with external fosse. Monument is visible as a circular-shaped area enclosed by a tree covered bank on OSi orthophotos 2005-2012 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 14/02/2020. Could be the remains of a ringfort reused as a designed landscape feature associated with Abbey Ville. See attached Google Earth orthoimages Complied by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 22 March 2021

No surface remains visible of 'Watch Ho.' associated with eel weir (LI031-050003-) on the Camoge River 115m N of the Cistercian abbey (LI031-050004-) of Monasteranenagh. Annotated 'Watch Ho.' on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map where it is shown standing on an island in the centre of the Camoge River adjacent to an eel weir (LI031-050003-). Described by Westropp (1889, 238) as follows; 'There are some remains of a detached building near the Cammogue, perhaps a mill, though the country people say that a rope from a net in the river rang a bell in it when a salmon was captured. The neglected state of the ruins defies description, and calls for remedy'. No surface remains visible of this building or island standing in the centre of the Camoge River.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
