Clonmacnoise is a medieval monastic site located in County Offaly in the Irish province of Leinster. This monastic site is recorded to have been founded during the middle of the 6 th century AD, though the area itself is reckoned to have already been inhabited at a much earlier point of time. Clonmacnoise flourished until the 13 th century, after which is went into decline, due to several factors. The site was destroyed during the 16 th century, and the ruins that can still be seen at the site today are a testament to the past greatness of this monastic site.
