Today I got to do something I’ve been wanting to do for many, many years: visit the supreme medieval Irish monastic site of Clonmacnoise, Co. Offaly. A dream come true. Incredibly atmospheric and serene.

I love this cat with a curly tail, caught in the act of devouring its prey.
She is tucked under the north arm of the Cross of the Scriptures at Clonmacnoise, one of the finest high crosses in Ireland.
It is thought to date to the early 10th century. A meow from more than a millennia ago

The Cross of the Scriptures at Clonmacnoise bridges Christianity, Gaelic kingship & the Viking Age. Ireland’s great high were portals between visible and invisible worlds. Their blend of animal imagery, Celtic & Christian symbolism invites something mystical. #CelticArt #IrishHistory #cats #mystical

I was on a research trip today on the Meath/Cavan border &, among other things, I visited St Ciaran's Well at Castlekeeran, Co. Meath, named after the 8th-century St Ciarán of Bealach Dúin, not the more famous St Ciarán of Clonmacnoise. (Yes, I drank the water!) #MedievalSky #Spéirghorm

Outside Dublin, Clonmacnoise is amazing. It's a little out of the way but definitely worth a visit.
Newgrange is interesting and often can be done along with Tara (I'll warn you, Tara is basically just a big hill with nothing on it)
Glendalough is also really nice.
