Founded in 1170 by Herve de Montmonercy on the instruction of Strongbow, de Montmonercy became the first abbot and died there in 1205. The demise of the Abbey began sometime around 1542 when Alexander Devereux, the last abbot granted the Abbey of the King, his heirs and successors. The lands and the Abbey then came into the possession of the Echingham familly in 1642 Jane Etchingham married the second Earl of Donegal whose decendants, The Chichester Family still own the lands today. The Abbey was handed over to the Department of Publlic Works in 1911 and is still maintained today by the OPW.
