Corcomroe Abbey

Corcomroe Abbey is an early 13th-century Cistercian monastery located in the north of the Burren region of County Clare, Ireland, a few miles east of the village of Ballyvaughan. It was once known as "St. Mary of the Fertile Rock", a reference to the Burren's fertile soil. The abbey is noted for its detailed carvings and other rich ornamentation, which are not commonly found in structures from this period. It features a typical cruciform church facing east, with a small chapel in each transept.

Located at 53.1267, -9.05401 (Lat. / Lng.), about 3 miles away.

Aughinish Tower

Aughinish Tower is a Martello tower at Aughinish, County Clare, Ireland dating back to March 1811 when 6 acres of land for the site was purchased from a Major Lynch.

Located at 53.1685, -9.06679 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.

Battle of Lough Raska

The Battle of Lough Raska or Battle of Corcomroe took place on 15 August 1317 near Corcomroe Abbey in north County Clare, Ireland. It was part of a fight for control of the Uí Briain chieftaincy and part of the Anglo-Norman wars in Ireland. Forces loyal to Muircheartach Ó Briain were commanded by Diarmait Ó Briain in a pitched battle against Donnchadh Ó Briain, who was an ally of Mathghamhain Ó Briain and Richard de Clare. Both armies were about 9,000 men each.

Located at 53.1264, -9.06618 (Lat. / Lng.), about 3 miles away.
