Clonmacnoise is among the very most important early medieval monasteries/ecclesiastical sites in Ireland and has a remarkable group of churches, high crosses and the largest collection of cross-slabs in Ireland or Britain. The lecture will focus on the building history of the churches, the layout of the main churches and the crosses and the royal patronage involved. The cathedral, built in 909, is the oldest exactly dated mortared stone church in Ireland and the largest pre-Romanesque church in the country.
Conleth Manning worked for nearly forty years as an archaeologist with the National Monuments Service. During that time he directed excavations at Clonmacnoise as well as at many other monuments around the country. He has a special interest in medieval churches and castles and has published widely on aspects of the medieval and post-medieval periods in Ireland.
