Monitoring took place of Community Monuments Fund funded conservation works on the west gable and outer face of the north wall at Killagh Priory under ministerial consent C000440. The works this year focused on the west gable wall top drainage system and the general repointing of the outer face of the north side wall. The intra-mural drainage system uncovered at the west end of the south wall in 2023 and again here on the west gable is unusual and has been fully conserved and left to function as it was designed.  Conservation work will continue on the interior face of the north side wall of the priory church in 2025
