- Long ago there was an Abbey in Kilmoney Carrigaline Co Cork where Cistercian monks used to live. They had a big school and also a mill where they used to make their flour.
At this time there was no poor house so the monks used to feed and clothe the poor. There was a stream running near the Abbey where the monks used to fish. It is said that there is an under-ground passage from the Abbey to Carrigaline Castle and also to the river. It is also said the the monks used to keep a boat near the river so that when the soldiers were hunting the monks they could escape.
The abbey is now gone to ruin; only one side of a wall remains standing. The graves are also to be seen. The last person who was buried there was a man by the name of Archdeakon.
