Monasterboice (which means "Buithe Monastery") is the remains of a monastic settlement established in the 5th century by St. Buithe. Little is known about the monastery, except that it fell into ruin after the establishment of the nearby Cistercian abbey of Mellifont in 1142. The site includes the remains of two churches built in the 14th century or later and an old round tower, but it is especially famous for its high crosses. The three high crosses date from the 10th century and show biblical scenes.
