Athassel Abbey is situated near the Suir about a mile from Golden. Richard De Burgo built it and some of the De Burgos are buried there. It is said that a blind prince slept there one night and he dreamt that a gold ring was hidden in the Abbey and if he got the ring he would get back the sight of his eyes
