Aghalurcher () was a pre-Norman monastery located east of the shore of upper Lough Erne, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, founded according to legend by Saint Ronan in the 6th to early 7th century and dedicated to him in the ninth century. The site includes the ruins of a medieval church with a small gated vault (locked) — where sculptural fragments are stored — and a gateway constructed with stones from the church. The church was remodelled in 1447 with a new roof added. The site seems to have been abandoned after a murder on the altar effectively deconsecrated the church.〔Eileen Gardiner, ''(Pilgrim's Way to St. Patrick's Purgatory )'', 2010, pp. 112-14 - Peter Harbison, ''(Guide to National and Historic Monuments of Ireland )'', 1992, p. 137 - Helen Hickey, ''(Images of Stone )'', 1985, pp. 47–48, 50, 56–58, 62, 91, 95–96. - Alistair Rowan, ''(North West Ulster: The Buildings of Ireland )'', 1979, pp. 361 - Gwynn & Hadcock, ''(Medieval Religious Houses: Ireland )'', 1970, p. 372〕 The site includes some interesting gravestones of the late 18th century,〔(Aghalurcher Graveyard )〕 plus an early medieval carved head on the gateway. Additional sculptural fragments from the site are at the Fermanagh County Museum at Enniskillen Castle. ==Saints associated with Aghalurcher Monastery== * Saint Ronan * Saint Feidhlimidh (Saint Felim) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aghalurcher Monastery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
