Check out this pub, in the middle of the bog somewhere in ireland
Some name for a pub "Roches" and you might just get roches in there.
Whoever built this pub was drunk.
Claire trying to tip it over.
Fore in Co.Westmeath
The rectangular church with its three round headed windows was built in the early part of the 13th century but alas this part of the priory is now closed to the public, but you can tour the rest of the remains including the cloisters which still has some graceful arcading shown right. During the 15th century a fortified tower was built at the western end of the priory, shown in the image above and another tower to the south which was more for residence.
Me in the lovely Claire in fore Co.Westmeath, Ireland
The Christian monastery at Fore was founded by Saint Feichin in 630AD, St Feichin died of yellow plague in the 660s, at that time it's believed there were up to 300 monks in the monastery. Between 771 and 1169 Fore was burned at least twelve times. Around 1200 Norman landlords the De Lacys built a Benedictine Priory dedicated to Saint Feichin and St Taurin.
Towards the north east of the abbey, up some modern steps pictured right, is a Columbarium or Dovecote, a circular building originally standing about six to eight feet high with a circular wooden roof that was used to house doves. Two of the original gateways to this medieval town can also be seen in the surrounding fields.
