Aerial picture of the priory ruins at Kilmallock, County Limerick.
Built by Gilbert Fitzgerald, the monastery was established in 1291 and the Dominican order remained until the disolution of the monasteries in 1541. They returned for a brief period of about 25 years but when Cromwells forces led by Lord Inchiquin sacked the monastery in 1648 this was the catalyst for its eventual abandonment in 1790.
