This is one of largest known early Christian churches in Ireland. As you can see from the puddles, it was raining pretty good when I snapped this one. It was originally dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, but ceased to be a cathedral in 1214. It was ransacked over the centuries by both the Vikings and the English. You can see a couple of gravestones, one on each side of the window, one asking for a prayer for Diarmuit,and one for Maccois. Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, Ireland; September, 2016.
