The abbey was founded in 1189 under the sponsorship of Domnall Mór Ua Briain (Donald O'Brien), the king of Thomond. The ruins include a rectangular church measuring 26 metres long and 7 metres wide. Two chapels are accessible via the north wall. The kitchen and refectory are situated to the south of the cloister.
