What is recorded here

Unlocated within Emily. The Annals record that the 'cloig-theach' at the monastery at Emly was completely burnt, together with the church, in 1058 by Turlough O'Brien (Barrow 1979, 190). A sketch by Thomas Dineley, drawn in 1681, shows the medieval cathedral (TS065-013002-) from the NE with the E gable in the foreground. A ruined structure is depicted immediately to the NW of the cathedral, at the W end of the N side aisle, which Barrow (ibid.) speculates may be the remains of the round tower.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS065-013022
