Ardskeagh Church

Location
The church is located 4.4 km southeast of Charleville, to the south of the River Awbeg.

History
Local history claims that it is named for Saint Sciath, a virgin saint who founded a convent here in AD 550. The present stone church was built in the 12th century and dedicated to Saint Michael; it appears in the Papal Taxation of 1302. By 1591 it was abandoned. The church is currently in state guardianship as a National Monument.

Church
The doorway is round-headed, with arch crudely repaired. There is plain, square moulding.
