History & geography

History

On the hill above the village is the site of a 5th-century monastery and round tower or cloictheach, now in ruins. Legend tells of a peal of 7 silver bells which once hung in the tower. The monastery was reputedly founded by St. Patrick himself, and is surrounded by earthworks probably far more ancient. From the hill can be seen Castle Oliver, a 19th-century mansion built by the Oliver Gascoignes, an Anglo-Irish family. Its stained glass windows, which feature the life of St. Patrick, have since been restored. The local parish church, Saint Patrick's Roman Catholic church, was built in 1835 and renovated in the 1920s. Ardpatrick was formerly joined with neighboring parish Kilfinane.
