About

Ardskeagh Church is a medieval church and a National Monument in County Cork, Ireland.

The church is located 4.4 kilometres (2.7 mi) southeast of Charleville, to the south of the River Awbeg.

Local history claims that it is named for Saint Sciath, a virgin saint who founded a convent here in AD 550. The present stone church was built in the 12th century and dedicated to Saint Michael ; it appears in the Papal Taxation of 1302. By 1591 it was abandoned. The church is currently in state guardianship as a National Monument.

The doorway is round-headed, with arch crudely repaired. There is plain, square moulding.
