Monasterboice

The historic ruins of Monasterboice (Irish: Mainistir Bhuithe) are of an early Christian settlement in County Louth in Ireland, north of Drogheda. It was founded in the late 5th century by Saint Buithe who died around 521,[2] and was an important centre of religion and learning until the founding of nearby Mellifont Abbey in 1142.[1]
