Questions about Moyne Abbey

Is Moyne Abbey on the National Inventory?

It is on the Sites and Monuments Record (MA022-024001-), the State’s list of archaeological sites.

Can you visit Moyne Abbey?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

Is Moyne Abbey protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
