  • The Archaeological Record of the Cistercians in Ireland, 1142-1541
    THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE CISTERCIANS IN IRELAND, 1142-1541 written by SIMON HAYTER October 2013 Abstract In the twelfth century the Christian Church experienced a revolution in its religious organisation and many new monastic Orders were founded. The Cistercian Order spread rapidly throughout Europe and when they arrived in Ireland they brought a new style of monasticism, land management and architecture. The Cistercian abbey had an ordered layout arranged around a cloister and their order and commonality was in sharp contrast to the informal arrangement of the earlier Irish monasteries. The Cistercian Order expected that each abbey must be self-sufficient and, wherever possible, be geographically remote. Their self-sufficiency depended on their land- holdings being divided into monastic farms, known as granges, which were managed by Cisterci and worked by agricultural labourers. This scheme of land management had been pioneered on the Continent but it was new to Ireland and the socio-economic impact on medieval Ireland was significant. Today the surviving Cistercian abbeys are attractive ruins but beyond the abbey complex and within the wider environment they are nearly invisible. Medieval monastic archaeology in Ireland, which in modern terms began in the 1950s, concentrated almost exclusively on the abbey complex. The dispersed monastic land-holdings, grange complexes and settlement patterns have been almost totally ignored. This report discusses the archaeological record produced through excavations of Cistercian sites, combined

It’s one of the best in Europe. CASTLE ROCHE A rich English lady built this strong castle high on a cliff. It guards an ancient border, looking out over the hills of south Ulster. THE READING MONK, DUNLEER Dunleer, also known as Lann Léire, also had a famous monastery. Monks could read and write, unlike most people long ago (including me). BALTRAY This pretty village is near a big beach at the mouth of the River Boyne. Local people pro- tect the ‘little terns’ that nest on the beach. MILLMOUNT This is Drogheda’s castle. It is called Millmount because it used to have a windmill on top. The buildings here now were built about 200 years ago. The tower was wrecked in the Civil War and rebuilt for the year 2000. There are cannons and a great museum! CU CHULAINN’S STONE This is where Cú Chulainn’s story ends, tied onto this big stone facing his enemies.

(Two Illustrations.) HE constitution of the early Irish church was essentially monastic. There was then nothing like what we have now in the parochial system. St. Patrick, when estab lishing the Christian religion in Ireland, had to deal, not with the country as a whole, but with the separate clans was and septs among whom the country parcelled out. He saw that, for such a country, the monastic system was very suitable.

The purpose of the review is to confirm that current safeguarding practice complies with the standards set down within the guidance issued by the Sponsoring Bodies in February 2009, and that all known allegations and concerns had been appropriately dealt with. To achieve this task, safeguarding practice in each Church authority is to be reviewed through an examination of case records and through interviews with key personnel involved both within and external to a diocese or other authority.
