Monitoring took place of Community Monuments Fund funded conservation works on the inner face of the north wall at Killagh Priory under ministerial consent C000440. The works in 2025 focused on the general re-pointing of the inner face of the north side wall and repair and stabilization of window openings and the remains of a wall which originally divided the nave and chancel of the priory church . The CMF funded works in 2025 completed the conservation of Killagh Priory church after four years of works with the main finding of the works being the wall top drainage system which had been covered in cement and which has now been exposed, fully conserved and left to function as originally intended.Monitoring took place of Community Monuments Fund (CMF) funded conservation works on the inner face of the north wall at Killagh Priory under ministerial consent C000440.
