What is recorded here
Abbey Point, also called The Wee Ebby in Tully, County Fermanagh, preserves the lost footprint of a monastery whose age has slipped from human memory. The land remains scheduled, acknowledging that sacred life once shaped the soil even though no date or building survives to prove when. Perhaps monks walked that point at dawn, listening for prayer in the water before retreat into the world. The absence does not diminish the place; it invites imagination to complete what time removed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MONASTERY (site of): ABBEY POINT or THE WEE EBBY. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
